To secure shocks and struts to their mounts, the retaining nut must be torqued to its proper specification using a torque wrench. Strut nut sockets allow for the use of an allen wrench to hold the damper shaft while utilizing your torque wrench on the socket to achieve proper torque. An improper torque value may result in premature mount failure - or worse. Some aftermarket strut nut sizes differ from what was originally found on the vehicle. Please measure your nuts to be sure - alternatively, pick up our Schwaben 5 Piece Strut Nut Socket Set and be covered for all common sizes.

Periodic fluid/filter changes remove harmful dirt and metallic particles to head off automatic transmission failures and expensive repairs. A fresh filter with new fluid renews and improves shift quality and performance.

Turbocharged cars are more sensitive to intake and exhaust air temperatures than those with natural aspiration. Indeed, charged air must be heavily cooled before reaching the cylinders, necessitating large intercoolers. The intake manifold contains the volume of air that your engine burns, and a newly developed method of keeping the manifold temperatures lower comes from New South Performance, in the form of their composite gaskets. An astounding 20-30 degree cooler air temperature is the result of a 30-50 degree cooler manifold with trick NSP heat-shielding gaskets.

The lowered ride height achieved by upgrading your factory suspension is a consequence of the modification, not its purpose. With this knowledge, you can appreciate the value of more finely wrought suspension designs, like those from KW. The ST-line Performance Coilovers utilize tempered high-strength springs, hardened chrome piston rods, and galvanized zinc-plated strut housings - a consequence of which is a powerful, aggressive stance. But the enduring value of this arrangement lay in its durability, reliability, and reverence for precise engineering.

Replacing cooling system components and performing a proper coolant flush will ensure a long life for your cooling system. Most of the cooling system components are exposed to very high temperatures and repeated thermal cycling. Heat-hardening causes warping and cracking that leads to coolant loss and possible engine damage from overheating. Avoid headaches altogether and replace all problematic items at once to keep your cooling system running efficiently.

Don't let your differential come to a bad end; periodic fluid changes can keep it running smooth and silent for years to come. Choose from premium Motul Gear 300 or Red Line 75W90 High Performance gear oil. Install the new side seals in the kit to keep your fresh oil inside the diff. Then add an extra measure of protection with ECS Tuning magnetic drain plugs, designed to attract and hold ferrous debris before it can abrade close-tolerance gears. Compared to the staggering costs of differential repair or replacement, this simple service procedure is a small investment.
