They are the correct coarse bolts. I just backed it out in the picture. They were snug against the caliper and it sheared off when I was torqueing it to the "correct" not-so-correct 30 ft-lbs
how much did you pay for the tires ?
I think our cars were twins and separated at birth. With the exception of the caliper color. I really thought about going with the red calipers, but the regular ones won out in the end. I also kind of like the plain Mach I calipers.
Look!
It does look good. What suspension setup do you have? How much is it dropped?
I think i'm going to put the car on the ground tonight so I can see how it looks and get the distance measurement I need to jack up the arms to normal ride height. Have to torque the lower control arm bolts at ride height and setup the tie rod spacers.
Ok I put the car on the ground and I just took some confusing measurements. It seems like the drivers side is sitting higher than passenger.
Ok, so when the car is on jack stands and you try to jack up on the a-arm it just picks the car up. So how are you supposed to get the arms at ride height to torque them?
What I like to do is drive the front up on ramps and level the rear with jackstands under the axle. Then get under there and torque everything up.
I don't have any ramps, I guess i'll try to come up with something.
I looked at the springs some more and it looks like the driver one is a little more forward down in the lower perch than the passenger one. Do you think this will even out while driving and under load?
