Question Tom's rear lower brace ?

Installation looks simple enough but.............. Where do the 2 black wedges go ? From what i am assuming it just goes on the brace where it might touch the body of the car , sort of like a buffer . Am i right ?

Bring me a lift and I'll let you know . Wish I could tell you, had the dealer put mine on. I was up under the car last week at the body shop, but wasn't looking for these.

And all Japanese instructions, too huh.

heck, give Steve a call if still unsure. my dealer is pretty stupid, complimenting my L-sportTuned kit and stuff. if i gave them something they don't understand, they'll probably just toss it aside and charge me for slapping the brace and bolts on

bravo - Don't get upset with Steve , if you only knew how many emails he gets in a day . I usually get a reply back within 2 days .

But with the weekends , the emails add up.

Maybe i can help ? You can email me at LTunedGS@aol.com , if you like .

are you talking about the black PADS? Your guess is correct, they go where the bar might touch the car.

i know he's extremely busy, but i've been waiting for nearly a month. its just a bar and plugs! voicemails don't do much either. appreciate your offer to help, but its groupbuy stuff i'm waiting for

Manaray - Steve confirmed my guess a couple of days ago , but thanks anyways.

Bravo - Don't want to rub it in but , i received all my Tom's stuff except for the coilovers ( still on the boat getting here ) in a week after placing my order. Been 2 weeks and haven't installed yet .

Had a mechanic lined up to do the install but he chickened out . So had to go look for another mechanic , he'll do it , but he's booked for 2 weeks . So Sunday i'm going to try to do it myself , if i can't then, i'll wait for the other mechanic to get unbusy .

I would recommend calling him , if he's not there too leave your name and number or talk to angel and ask him to get Steve .

Oh yeah , Steve had a little computer probs. lately but it has been resolved , so that might explain the no replies to emails this past week.

Hope everything works out for the best .
