kenchan · 03-28-2012, 08:25 PM

these clamps are hard to tell when they are tight. on the throttle body side i dont care too much but on the plastic air box side i didnt want to crush the damn pipe fitting.

Duct tape fixes everything.

That's funny right there!

I don't drink coffee that much, I just really like it to get me going in the morning.

I love my Keurig! We have one at work too!

so when you push the tire outwards the tire has more leverage to compress the suspension... this can result in the car sitting slightly lower than usual (probably unmeasureable to the eye).

Thanks for the information dood! I really appreciate it!

I think their default offsets are +22, but I could be mistaken.

They're sitting on Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, 19/35/245 up front, 19/40/275 in back.
