HIA.

Okay I have my H&R coilovers fitted but after looking at the Haynes manual I have a question!

Once the coilover is in place and you need to do the two bolt+nuts up to connect it with the hub carrier, the Haynes manual states some shit about torquing them up at an angle...

Can anyone expand on this? I havent measured shit, I just connected it all up and it just awaits to be torqued up once I've fitted my braided hoses.

Any help/comments welcome.

Cheers.

they want you to torque it up using you torque wrench and thighen it again to the specifyed angle using an angle gauge....

just use the torque wrench... the angle gauge is a load of arse
