The general guideline is not to touch them at all when hot, as trying to torque them down to the cold number can stretch the stud, deform the threads, or outright snap the stud due to them now being over-torqued when they return to their cold...-

Hey guys gonna give a bit of context first. Earlier today I had a friend who works at a local Ford install for me the Ford Performance Track Handling Pack, excluding the sway bars. I bought them used off another friend who tracks his 2015 GT, but...

Yep, I was homeless for a fair stretch and slept in my car more times than I know. It's just how it was. In the end, you probably took the right path...at the very least, it was the smarter one.I think people measure lives the wrong way. It's...-
DarrylS76 replied to the thread SR performance coilovers VS Koni sport/Eibach?.BFor sure. It was a trip when my friend and his dad used to track their e30 m3 s at summit point.
