Great stuff , I used his write up on the underdrive pulleys.That was great. He shows detailed pictures which is very helpful. Jt one of AFM `S members is no slouch either, I like that header install he did. I wish there was a NSR cam install by one of these guys.

Yeah, I think he blew his engine. Not sure doing what. Couldn't have lowered my car without his help, at least not the correct way.

On the Steeda LCA install … are those the 1x use bolts? Should all 4 bolts be replaced?

It's one of those things you SHOULD do, but many don't for whatever reason. They are torque to yield and are intended for one time use only. They could break if you were to re-use them. With that said, there are a ton of people who have reused them with no problems. Basically, do it at your own risk, but don't say you wern't warned if something bad happens.You can get new bolts from your dealer.

ARP makes a crankshaft bolt for only 26.95. I got a factory bolt with my Moto Blue pulleys.

My Steeda pulleys went in 3 years + ago w/o a new bolt. I never heard about it back then though. I'm sure plenty were installed w/ the factory bolt when the pulleys first hit the market.
