Using a torque wrench or torque stick and air gun and tightening the lugs to 80 ft/lbs in a cross pattern is the best thing you can do to help avoid the dreaded brake pulsation too!

I got a speed wrench from a local Discount Tire... its a hand lug wrench where, once the lug has been broken free, you just spin the handles and it takes it fof real quick. Only cost $20.

Thanks.
I did torque it at 80 ft lbs in a cross pattern. I been driving it for about 100 miles now... I guess time to re-torque it then.
By the way, I got my Alstald I in now. Will get pics in soon. My TL is now a clone of StreetEffectz's TL with a minor different. For now check Ron's TL pics and you see mine
