Hey Matt why don't you just have whoever is going to mount/ balance your rims put them together. They probably won't charge much extra thinkin' it's a breeze, even if it's not. I'm pretty sure they'll gaurantee the work as well. Just an idea...

I was kinda thinking about taking them back to RB Motoring (where i got them) because they do wheel repair (assembly and disassembly)

But i'm pretty sick of spending money.

you know how you turn the key to "on" and all the warning lights come on, you start the car, wait a bit, and they go off?

Mine aren't going off.... and the car runs fine (or so it seams)

Also, does anyone know why KYB Shocks are $612 from RacingBeat?!

Are they cheaper somewhere else?

Seems like thats a little high. Google it! Tokicko blues are descent shocks too, and probably cheaper. Nice springs Matt. How much of a drop are they?

10mm open end, if u look where the fan clutch mounts to the water pump shaft there will be 4 lil bolt heads. sometimes they are stuck so watch the knuckles

Ah ok, that was my next idea, just wondering if there was a way to take the whole assembly off.

Thanks man =)
