21000 miles in 12 months and no mechanical issues. The squeaks even seemed to have stopped. We will see if they come back in the winter. I do have a set of pretty badly worn (original from the factory) tires, but that comes with the territory.
Best wishes to all,

26,372 miles with a nice amount of mods, numerous drag passes, and still on the stock clutch. I haven't had any problems besides the little chips of paint coming off around the drivers side rear door. Trying to get the dealer to take care of it.

I had the exact same problem, when your tranny is back the car will seem like an all new beast trust me.. I added the exedy clutch, they installed for free being the car was taken apart for the tranny work anyways.

The steering wheel will shake when you brake at highway speeds.
Usually happens when the brakes are new and hot, then you drive through a puddle and it 'warps'..
