    I'm with the exact same mate - worth getting a wheel hanger to put wheels back on. And always use a manual torque wrench! :)

      Someone mentioned this wheel hanger thing to me before, I'll definitely look into it

    It looks like your release valve on your jack has ether gone or wasn’t tightened fully if tightened fully shouldn’t drop 🙏

      Cross fingers it’s one maybe just the valve not tight on it if it’s faulty I’m sure u have a warranty and can exchange it 🙏

    Yes, mate, are the spacers still installed? Are they still holding up, and dis you have any more issies with bolts?
    I just had 4 bolt sheared last week, so I'm looking for some quality bolt replacement
    Thanks in advance

    Looks sick mate, was thinking about it for mine. Probably a mute point but has it reduced efficiency?

    Hi! I've enjoyed your video, would you recommend for me to buy audi tt? Actually i've been considering about buying a car ( stinger or audi tt) in here, korea. We can not purchase audi tt because of VW emmisions scandal after 2015. So i can only used audi tt..if u were like me, what choice do u make?

    • @JamesCF10
      @JamesCF10  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ah that's interesting! I'd definitely try to test drive both cars as the stinger offers way more space and practicality, but the TT is such a good car!

    how are the spacers after some time? no vibrations? is Bimecc a good brand? I saw they sell kits for 4 spacers + extended bolts on ebay that are like half the price of H&R spacers

    • @JamesCF10
      @JamesCF10  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Still perfect, no issues at all. Bimecc are pretty good, I got mine from ebay as well I think

      @@JamesCF10 awesome, thanks for the reply! I might go with them. One more question, do you remember if there was a lot of room behind the hub that the bolts could stick out? I am asking because I am looking at an eBay listing of 2x15m and 2x20mm spacers from bimecc, but they come with 20x45mm bolts instead of 10x40mm + 10x45mm. This means that the 15mm spacers would have 5mm longer bolts than needed, and i am worried about them protruding too much

      Yeah, Eibach Pros, but I took the videos before I moved the car after having it up in the air. It took a sec to settle back to where it normally is (check my IG to see how it’s sitting)
