beats having to wait till monday

its one of those things, you know its gonna arrive on the weekend, but cant get it till Monday.

also, not lowered, but at least now I have an option to increase the front rake if desired

Ok, problem, the instructions included say to go to the page where you order these to download the instructions and i don't see the instructions there.

Seems easy enough but I don't want to mess this up so I guess I'm done until I get the instructions

They'll be on their site but I will link it here. They're not my instructions. I'm waiting on their instructions

I did do the 3/4" step drill and that was easy. $4 3/4" step drill bit from harbor freight worked perfect. Item #44460

Eric is ON IT, LOL!

Installation manual has been uploaded to the webpage, and can be accessed HERE. I will be adding further details to it, however there should be enough there to get you early birds going. Of course if any have questions or feedback, please reach out to us!

Well F***! I'm done. Gotta buy a new Magride strut. The shaft snapped when I was putting the nut back on

I was going to post this regardless, but perhaps now it's even more prevalent. Can someone post all the factory torque specs for each nut and bolt that is involved in this?

This is what it should look like I think. This is obviously the other side. Notice there is no extra thread (if you are using the spacer so it DOES NOT lower the front) like there is with the stock hats.

Did they use a strong loctite with the nut. Those nuts look to be the oblong center ones that lock it down
