oh yeah, I could buy port installed, was just pointing out it's not coming out of the factory that way

BTW, do you know anything more specific on the 2011 geometry changes? at the time someone posted some NCF stuff about it and all I saw was like a 0.1 change in one alignment measure, but that can't be it, right?

Yeah I'd like to know more information about those changes as well, the alignment specs don't seem to tell the whole story. The part numbers are different for 4 of the 5 arms and the knuckle itself changed as well.

That means that while the resting alignment specs didn't change much at all, what did change is the geometry changes through the travel arc are in fact where the changes lie. That being said, due to the number of costly components back there, the chances that I will buy them all is relatively small.

Maybe I should have ordered the 6MT Sport Package after all, haha. (Pretty sure it's a Canada-only package).
