The problem is the transmission tunnel is so narrow that i had to use a 10mm Allen wrench on the driver's side, and it barely cleared, with another regular wrench as a "cheater". There isn't a way to get a rachet or a torque wrench back up in there to tighten it, so i just guesstimated when I tightened it back down.. The passenger side requires a 1 1/16' socket, and you wont be able to fit a 1/2 drive rachet up there unless you the exhaust. I used a 3/8 to 1/2 adapter & a universal joint to get to it. It's a matter of having enough leverage when you're laying underneath the car.
Thanks for your advise. Also thinking of getting the MTEC springs. Noticeable difference from stock?
