should put a few washers under the front bolt to get the torque specks correct when you retorqued the nuts.

Looks good man.Wow,someone has money now. I figured the strut bar from North would be all scratched up(jk).Take the C brackets off,or at least put them on top,waterdown.Judging by this pic,the paint guys at nummi were drinking.

do you happen to know the amount of ft-lbs it is for the strut nuts? i just tighted them as hard as i could..so i know it wouldnt come off.kevin did you take yours off completly? or put it back on top??

kevera · Post by **kevera** » Thu Mar 13, 2008 7:05 am

I took mine off,and I just parked on a flat surface and tightned it up to as hard as I could.

take off those C clamps. I also had the TRD STB and so did Mavrik (whom mine went to when i traded the VGT in). i really liked mine and will most likely have a STB for any vehicle I own in the future.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Sat Mar 15, 2008 4:08 am

well i took off the C clamps today..the passanger side was abit obstructed with the ac line where some clamp is..so it wasnt to much problems..but they're off! thanks for the responses for that issue

wife beat me to it but I was going to yell and start an angry mob about those C clamps.

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 5:42 am

lol yea i wasnt to sure what to do..so i figured i'd leave them on..til got advice from you guys..then do what would be the best to do..but they're off now and love it..definitly worth the buynext up is probably sway bars and lowering springs

That's sweet, but now you should take it off and either color match it, ot color contrast it... Nah, screw it, it looks great..

Nah, screw it, it looks great.. dont know if you're talkin to me or responder lol, but if you're talkin to me..im leaving it the same color..cause i may change my color scheme from the blue/gold to the blue/gun metal..im picky with rims and gold is just hard to find and expensive for some reason..also hard to find rims that look decent and arent $300+ each..i've seen a wave colored matrix with gunmetal rims and it looks sharp

That blue with GOLD rims would be sweet... Look at Rota rims for cheap but decent wheels, a LOT of the Subie guys run Rota, because they copy so many of the popular styles....

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Wed May 21, 2008 6:31 am

ya i've been looking at alot of rims lately..i like the enkei RSV in bronze..but i dont know about gold now

jsimon63 · Post by **jsimon63** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 8:07 am

So, where can I buy Rota wheels in or around the Indy area?

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 10:08 am

jsimon63 · Post by **jsimon63** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 10:11 am

WaveAction · Post by **WaveAction** » Sun Jun 08, 2008 10:21 am
