Heat cycles turn the soft rubber seal into a hard plastic, so over time they can't seal as effectively, thus leak.

Make sure both sides are done i.e. rocker cover gaskets, spark plug seals and the bolt seal/washers.

^You mean Kiwami ultimates
And will fit like boss
Rims and coilovers should be here in about 2weeks, then need to save for rubber, rolling, alignment with corner weighting.

"Make sure they do this"
"Make sure they use a full kit"
"Make sure they provide only OEM..."

You fckers have got no clue. The dealers best interest is to make the problem go away, at the least most effort and least most cost. If it means using some rubber goo shit to seal the leak for 3+ months, then that's what will be done. If it means spraying some contact cleaner on air flow meters for a fix, thats what will be done.

Are they not virtually the same rim ? The kiwami just has more concave ?

When you say fit like a boss do you mean rub more then when one first discovers porn ?

Lol, bring it to me and we'll fix it! Lol

Do you not own a jack? Get under the fucking car and have a look if there is oil coming from the rocker covers...

Lol!

Ps: shouldn't your title say "3 Daks are better than 1?" Craigwise?
