good deal! mine is on its way. Question though: i don't have any air tools, how do I know how much to tighten the lugs?

The Ikon

Torque wrench........ call Lexus for recommended tq. settings...

thank you! Somewhere in the back of my head I have heard that before... I find it no coincidence that your post to me was your 666th.

chrislee8

but usually people do it with less, I found this kind of discussion on the maxima forum.

I didn't use torque, i don't know why.

more 666! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh:eek:

Is that the strut bar on ebay from Autobacs? I thought about buying one but I wasnt sure of the quality. What king is yours and how much did ya get it for? Looks good on your car.

chrislee8

it is the one from autobacs, i use the buy it now for $62. I hate the bidding hassles!
the quality is ok, but it is strut bar, they are all the same.
and there is no need to build one with diamond. :P

mine is 96.

thanks.

If you want your strut bar within 4 frickin months, dont go with autotoys.com -- im still waiting on mine!

they are located here in nj. I think their name is sound concepts or something like that. I'll see if I can't dig up a name and phone number for you. Those guys did send my part (even though it wasn't meant for my car), but they're indifferent to customer satisfaction.
