well imma work on it more tonight...=)

oh and one other question... since i realized that the bolts and fitting are made of somewhat soft metals....should i just hand torque everything in? airgun? or loctite?

thanks
Woah... Take it easy there... lol For the bag bolts, i would put a dab of loctite onto them. They only hold the bags to the brackets, the weight of the car isn't on the bolts.

For the fittings its suppose to be 2-3 layers of teflon and then hand tight, then 2.5 rotations with a wrench. If you over tighten the fitting into the bag you can crack the cap. NPT fittings are like a wedge.

Ton's of them. Majority of the cars that are bagged in the Santa ana/Anahiem/LA area, especially the strut vehicles will have been installed from a shop that purchased through us.

If you went to the last Dub LA show i would say that over 80% of the newer cars have our products. We are not that big into the older classic's.

The shops that do the big clubs like Nokturnal, Swift, Still Tippin, Heavy Hitters, and Game Ova buy our products.

Wow, you're pretty close to us. We're in Garden Grove.

What I normally do is hand tighten, then do another 1-2 turns. Definitely not airgun the fittings in, too much. You should have teflon tape for all your connections.

Let me know how it goes!
