125 ft/lbs - Large bolts for the lower control arms x4
35 ft/lbs - M10 bolts x8
25 ft/lbs - M8 bolts x2 (very front 2)

I will be shipping the second batch starting today. I will have all of them shipped by COB Tuesday for everyone. Thanks for the great support and all the compliments.

Are these all the directions that there are. because my box didn't come with any.

When there is chassis flex, the chassis actually sort of becomes a part of the steering "system", but not in a good way. The "assist" that the frame flex contributes to steering the car rarely happens in a neutral or consistant manner. It kind of flip-flops on either side of neutral. It's really bad on modified for racing unibody cars with lots of torque. The fix isn't as easy as adding a beefy brace.

Placed my order today for both kits. Looking forward to a better ride.
