I just had my 02 new edge in the shop for a differential leak, and they told me that the breather valve was getting cut off or pinched somehow from my exhaust pipe (due to my car being lowered) causing a buildup of pressure that’s making the diff housing leak. My exhaust is a custom weld job that the previous owner had done, so would replacing it with an after-market piece do the trick? With these cars being modified so regularly Im wondering whether this is just because I have a weird exhaust (especially since my car isn’t that low).

I recently bought a new cobra style front brake kit for my new edge gt from rockauto, and I am having great trouble installing them correctly. I’ve got them mounted and hooked up, but as soon as I connect the brake lines they immediately seize and lock the rotors. My driver side won’t bleed(I can take the entire valve off and press the brakes and nothing) but when I loosen the banjo bolt fluid leaks out and the brakes release . I have checked the passage from the bleeder to the banjo hole with compressed air and a wire to find any blockages. On the passenger side it actually will bleed but it remains locked.

I installed BC racing's BR series kit for my new edge, and the ride is way too bumpy for the roads that I regularly drive on. The kit came default with 6k springs, and I was thinking about buying a set of their 4k springs for the front and rear in the hopes of the car still handling a little better than stock 3k springs but not throwing me around everytime the road isn't perfectly smooth. My only concern would be that with a softer spring it would obviously bottom out easier and I am fairly low, would this be a problem? Also what's the best height difference between front and rear for these cars? Right now my rear end is slightly lower than front as seen below.
