    Hey everyone, what would you guys torque the rear shock top nut to? @sfv41901 @bino ? Lol

    Should hand tightening with a ratchet be fine? I will be installing the Coilovers soon and doing one last walk through.

    Thanks!

    Yeah i thought that too but then i was like mehh ill try the cheap ones and change them again after 30k. The ones i swapped had 140k on them they were the genuine ones never changed, dont feel difference which tells me they were still good. Did not find even a single drop of oil anywhere but i did notice rust on the tips and some orange dust probably rust on the coils

    @Johnsk93 is right. I also removed the rear and side window decals I had on for 2 years. Definitely feeling the loss in horsepower.:D

    Received my very first Auction Japan item yesterday via DHL! Very nice piece... Cost me about $42 bucks with the fees and shipping.

    In the event of airbag deployment, those little bits of "magical" CF could become sharp, and deadly, projectiles. With all of the Takata airbag publicity out there, are you positive you want to have sharp bits hurtling at you and your face by applying them to the airbag cover? :eek:

    Welcome, this is by far the best forum I've been on. When I had sports cars, I thought we modded our cars a lot. We Prius owners use all the money we save on gas to mod, lol
