project: lowered G

so i finally went and got a makeshift breaker bar...a socket wrench with a metal pole...from a friend with a 24mm socket and collected all other necessary tools and a couple of extra hands and finally did it! thanks to my two best friends evan and matt who were a tremendous help! here's the pics enjoy! (i'm not in any of the pics, except for the one where lubricant is being sprayed, that's my arm spraying it)

oh i love it so much! the ride is amazing! the stance is amazing! you can take corners at 40 and not even feel it! my friend drove it(i'm not 16 yet[2 1/2 weeks!]) and did a powerslide and it was amazing. i love the ride quality! great mod! would recommend gr-2/tein setup any day! thanks sleeper for the great buy. hope you all enjoy.

Looks cool wheels next? :D

03_silver_8g

definitely wheels next. i was supposed to get them saturday, but i don't know how that's going to work...

the rears were pretty difficult, because you can't get much leverage in that tight space. but we got it and they weren't rusted at all.

yeah mine came out pretty easy too, just used a pipe for leverage, aint it came right out

yea the rears are a little bit of a pain but once you get the ratchet into that right spot they just pop right off....looks good though, and thats a nice setup i always like when i had my s-techs with gr2's the ride was nice and its a solid stance

what are the torque specs for tightening when assembling everything back together? ne one?
09-19-2007, 09:04 PM
fatal1

the rear bottom bolts (17mm) are like 70 lbs or something, but just tighten it down as much as you can... and the front 24mm bolts are like 220 i believe

so it's not an exact copy.

except i'm getting 3rd gen's :D

and my grandpa has an impact wrench i could have used, but i didn't think it was going to require that because i only have 40k miles.
