Hi Guys,

Well installed the 5mm Eibach spacers on the car, looks superb... all I need to know now is the correct torque settings for the bolts.

Just to let you know, careful when you use bolts longer than 5mm than the originals as I did and experianced a "clicking" sound when the wheels was turning, I have now gone back to my original bolts, they are fine.

 

Torque lugs to 81 ft lbs.

the lugs you selected were too long...for a 10mm or 12mm spacer they would have been fine.

enjoy!

 

Thanks Andrew, yeh the guys at the wheel centre said that the original bolts are fine... at least this way I get to keep the locking wheel bolt.

 

Pictures please.

Let us know if it improves the handling!

 

Andrew, have you had your glass tinted?

 

also, rear wheel was a pain in the "arms" to put back, so little left on the centre hub to get the wheel on to bolt back.. ahhhh

 

yes...they have been tinted since near purchase...50%

they do look real dark in the picture with the trees blocking the sunlight (a few posts above).



yeah...mounting rims without studs from the hubs sucks. :wink: have you installed the rotex pads yet?

 

look really nice... I was thinking of doing mine, but was not sure as I already have "green" tint on the glass.

 

Still waiting for the rotex pads to arrive.. ahhh... stock issues..
