Also, can anyone help me find the thread regarding the headlights issue (AFS light) that came up once the car was dropped? BryanLe is trying to help me find it as well, but if anyone remembers the issue specifically and can lead me to the thread, that would be great. I would like to print it out and take it to the installer, so we do not encounter any issues. TIA!!
honestly i dont know bro...i do all my installs myself w/ my cousins..

1. Well hell, you wanna install my springs for me then? I don't have the equipment, nor the knowledge.

2. The headlight aiming issue that apparently arises once the car is lowered. It sounds like the car gets confused b/c of the repositioning. It seems like a very simply fix after speaking extensively with BryanLe about it.

FYI, we'll be back at Bone Daddy's again for lunch today around 11am. LMK if you want to roll in!

Yes, i used stock studs and stock nuts, doubled gaskets oem, doubled torque specs, ran and no leaks. My thread shows the headers installed and i think u can see the studs. I feel alot more comfortable using the studs and nuts than the bolts.

Hey lils, where can i get some horns brah! Im looking for them in blue

If you could do that bro, that would be awesome! I'm in no hurry at the moment, so I can handle waiting a few weeks for your hand to heal. Besides, I'd love to see your car!
