Mother Of All Whore Threads Non-VIP Edition v.1

You know what sucks? When you own a civic for 7 years, do basic maintenance ( fluids, brake service ) then bam! You go and put your summer wheels on and you got 4 seized calipers and a blown front coil over.

I've contacted 3 shops to see if they sell tein parts. So far 2 said no. Waiting on the 3rd. Just contacted tein directly to see if it's even possible. The street basis z I have are currently on sale for less than $900 which isn't bad if I have to go that route. Found all for calipers for $250 online. Probably another 2-300 for pads and rotors.

Or I clean the strut off and sell the car. Spend the money on the Tacoma.

@Janz3n can you confirm the torque specs for the alternator bolts? The top 2 15mm bolts are 42 ft lbs? And not sure on the 16mm bolt and the 14mm bolt down at the bottom.

Also the idle pulleys are 18 ft lbs and the tensioner pulley bolts are 37 ft lbs. Correct?

Ummmm. Sure. I can get those for you because I torque that stuff.

I think that's all you asked for.

I also noticed that the power wire for the alternator is running on that larger hose. Which has rubber through the tape/shield stuff and rubbing down on the wire coating. Gonna have to find some rubber or something to cover that spot back up.
