Good news! Got it all installed. Contacted Bilstein yesterday to get some more information. The following information is also for anyone in the future who encounters the same problem I did. 1. The strut tops originally did not separate from the spring because the threads from the shaft were...

Next issue I seem to be having... Not sure how much I'm supposed to tighten this new top nut from Bilstein. Again, no instructions or information to be found anywhere which I'm finding extremely frustrating. Anyways, the nut is tight on there, but I'm under the impression that it needs to...

So I got the top nut off, but the strut top hat still won’t separate from the spring. Is there something I’m missing here? Edit. Finally got it to separate and got the strut top off, but seems like the bilstein kit is different sizes than OEM. Anybody have a link to some kind of instructions...

Thanks for the suggestions. I bought one new OEM strut mount already, and I'm thinking I should have just bought two, and not worried about trying to disassemble the OEM struts to get them off.

Hoping someone can provide a link to some instructions or provide some tips on how to remove the strut top from the OEM spring/strut on a 2012 GT. I've watched a bunch of videos, and everyone makes it look so easy by just putting the impact gun on there and loosening it. When I tried that, it...

I like the green more because IMO it's more wearable, but the purples are awesome, and more limited. I would love the Volt Acronyms, but I just can't get over the fact that they're still a Presto. Those are called the "No Signal" NMD. Supposed to represent old tube TVs when they lost signal...

Good for sneakers, bad for the car-parts fund. Trying to save up for some suspension upgrades, but the Acronyms and the purple/green 1's are really throwing a wrench in that plan. Doesn't help that I bought the Wave Runners this last weekend too.

Here's some of my collection. Just purchased my 100th pair this week. Super limited Chicago Retro 1 Golf shoe

He needs to write a book. Genius.

The helmet thing was funny, but the woman dumping the beer was just downright disrespectful... and yes, I'm biased.

Thought I would post some pictures and a short little write-up of my client's 2008 Toyota Tundra that I detailed yesterday. Started off as a nightmare. I had the client scheduled in for noon. I went into church with temperatures sitting around 41ºF. By the time I came out at 11am it was 26ºF...

Looking to do some better cleaning on light colour leather. Right now my process just includes using a toothbrush to lather the cleaning agents, and a microfibre to scrub and wipe with. I am looking to find a brush or two that is better than a toothbrush. I'm hoping to find something similar...

Yesterday was a beauty morning so Black-Venom and I went for a cruise around town. There is one parkade that is really good for pics because it has a good view of the city's skyline. Anyways, here are a few of the pics from yesterday. They could use some editing to remove glare/reflections...

Hey, just wondering if any of the Manitobins here are going to the All Ford Spring Break-Out show tomorrow afternoon at Kildonan Place Shopping Centre. It runs from Noon- 4pm and is free for participants and spectators. Sent using Tapatalk 2.0

After doing a ton of research on the topic of detailing, I felt I was ready to tackle my GT/CS. It is still low milage (right around 900), but the dealership I bought it new from botched the paint on their "new car prep." Had I have been smart I would have requested that they didn't let their...

High school baseball and I was a catcher. Took a foul ball (tipped it down) that bounced off the plate and under the jock. I too was dragged off

HAHA! This is in my city, and actually happened not too far from my university. When the busses are on their way to the shop or being transferred, they say "sorry" on one slide, and then "not in service" on the other.

First of all; No I did not get a supercar for my 21st, but I got the next best thing. I got a trip to Vegas last week where I received an opportunity to partake in the World Class Driving tour. It was expensive, but well worth it. I was apprehensive at first and thought maybe I would be...

Been searching around a bit, and haven't been able to find a definitive answer. I'm looking to buy an SCT tuner but only have Mac computers in my house. Is there any ways to run the SCT tuner programs such as downloading or uploading tunes with a Mac? Or is it only for Windows based...

I always enjoy carving pumpkins every year for Halloween. That's about as involved with the day as I get, but I always find it fun. Let's see your designs for this year. Here is one I whipped up today. Assassin's Creed

Ok, so I have a little debate to settle with my cousin. I want to get the eibach pro kit for my 12 gt, but he keeps warning me against them. Now I know that coil overs are better, but for just regular street use, is there anything wrong with just getting springs? He claims that over time...

Ok, so after reading the thread earlier today about how to clean your windows really good, I went to the garage, and cleaned up all the windows on my 5.0 and noticed something odd with the paint on the hood. I have had this car less than 2 months now, and I have been extremely unsatisfied with...

So, after looking on the forums for quite a while hoping to buy a used 2011 5.0, I happened to be at a local Ford dealership last Sunday looking for an F150 with my father, and noticed this GT/CS sitting in the lot. I inquired about it, and bought it on Tuesday this week! This is my first...

While driving to university today to hand in an essay, an officer on a bicycle pulled up beside me (at a red light) in my 1998 Honda Accord. He knocked on the window and told me to pull over. He comes over, and explains to me that the tint on my windows appears too dark. The officer scans the...
