Spring swap walkthrough - Tein H-Tech's

^^^^ You still need a torque wrench to be accurate. (I don't use one when I did my springs, however.). For suspension... tight is tight.... -

Glad to hear it, my friend! -
Yeah.. that happens anytime you try to edit a product. Tide is aware of the issue... but can't do anything about it since they haven't released updates for the software that the Reviews section uses.

Done! But it isn't a subcategory..... exhausts is for cat back and turbo back exhaust sytems.

DOH! I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing that out. I am using the LegacyGT profile. I thought everybody was.....

"As tight as you can get them". Seriously... that is what I do on major suspension bolts. I use open end wrenches, 1/2" drive ratchets, and an air impact gun. If you want actual values.. you might want to check the members "vacation pics" on here. -
Regal Blue Pearl.... but I REALLY wanted WRB.

Air tool is what I used... but they also make electric ones. Just use some 19mm wrenches/socket wrenches with a cheater. Torque... in ft-lbs... is just that.... Take the force in lbs x the length of the fulcrum = torque...... 100 lbs x 2' cheater = 200 ft-lbs.... -

I put it back on with an impact wrench.... that is tight enough. -

Ride is good. Feels stock on the highway and smooth roads. Railroad tracks and potholes aren't very fun... however... so you'll be watching for those closer. The body roll and pitch are reduced quite a bit ... and the car corners much more flat. It is a blast! -
