I was installing my KONI/Apex(1.6" drop) tonight but ran into a little problem. I needed a foot lb torque wrench....I bought an inch pound torque wrench so I ended up doing the install on 1 corner only but not torquing it down I just tighten it up just to keep it together. Im not going to drive it until I get the proper torque wrench. I need to know the proper Torque specs to everything since PerformanceX who hosted the instal is not online for some reason anymore. Does anyone know another site that has the install? maximadriver doesnt show the whole install.

 

thought you were gonna say u had a flat tire

 

BUT , you know you can convert inch lbs to foot lbs right? every foot lb is equal to 12 inch lbs. i am not saying you did not know this , but just checking. your torque wrench might not be big enough either.

 

I know about the conversion but my torque wrench doesnt go that high.


slammed95- yea I already rented the spring compressor but I only gave them $50 unlimited rental for the compressor only. I already bought a torque wrench but it was obviously the wrong type and couldnt go back to exchange it because I started working on it late at night so my only choice was to do one corner without torquing and just leave the car as-is until I get the proper tools.

still need the torque specs if anyone has them please.
