H&R Spacers + OEM Wheel locks

Hey guys,

I just received my H&R 25mm spacers!
Any tips on installing and if I need to put any anti-seize and where/how much?

I am also interested in picking up some wheel locks from Subaru today but just want your guys' input first. Will OEM wheel locks from Subaru fit the bolts on these spacers? If so, would I need to torque the wheel lock to spec? And how?

I'm still a real noob to car modding so these are genuine questions!

Cheers

For the front spacers, you will need someone/something to press the brakes to stop the hub from rotating while you tighten down the spacers.

Anti seize may be helpful since you are in Canada and the roads get snowy/salty. Up to you.

Wheel locks will work - the H&R spacers come with their own studs that, for all intents and purposes, you can treat as the OEM studs. They function just the same, so wheel locks would work.

Tq. from the dealer did 80 ft/lbs for me. I do 74 when I use my own torque wrench.

I have also heard another spacer company recommend 95ft/lbs for the spacer to hub connection, but I would recommend around 75-80 or so for the locks.

Awesome! Thanks for the info guys! I will get some anti-seize since it costs an even dime anyway.

Any tips on how much anti-seize to actually apply and where? And would the spacers use the same torque spec of 89 ft/lbs?
Credible tutorial vids on this whole process would be appreciated too.

Cheers
