Took some pain medicine and working on the fronts now. Before I began today, I had to hunt down a pair of hex nuts to pair with the shock bolt; the stock nut can't be used because it's welded to the stock shock (this is true for the rears and I assume it's true for the fronts). Also bought a vice and installed that as well.

BTW here's a teaser pick of the rear.

Ill have to remember to get nuts for my install when I get them as well. LOVE the pic, as that is what my setup will look like. Konis, slotted rotors and F14's

I'm trying to convince myself to continue work today, though (my back is ailing me). Torquing the nut to spec on the top hat is a PITA. I had to lay it on the ground and hold the assembly in place with my foot while I torqued it. I assume a vice would help with that and I might give it a try.

hahaha, i didnt know you had to do acrobatics to install the rear.

i usually use my hydraulic jack under the hub carrier to raise and torque everything in place.
