    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

    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

    You guys need to invest in air tools I never have problems with any bolt since I got them.

    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.
