New wheels and tires are arriving tomorrow. 03 Cobra chrome reps staggered 17s. Any advice on how to switch out the irs bolts? MMS low profile bolts.

Jack rear of car and support with stands. Remove wheels. With floor jack lightly put pressure on rear subframe of irs. When you get it just right the old bolt will back right out and the new one will slide in place. Should not take any force if done correctly.

Thanks man. Do you know if there is a torque spec?

Thanks again guys. I did run into some rubbing issues even with the low profile bolt. AM reps in still rub the bolt and exhaust. I don't know why they claim it won't. Had to order a pair of 25 mm hub centric spacers. We will see how this works tomorrow. The low profile bolts were easy to swap out.
