The side mount takes less than 2 minutes to do...at least for myself. Anyway when I pulled my mounts out due to a thunking on the passenger side my passenger side mount fell apart that was awesome. But I bought the xcelerate mounts with 70a inserts (sitting next to me right now) but I have the 64a I think right now in there. Honestly it does not vibrate bad...I do not know where some of these people are getting reviews from...The vibrations are so little it shouldnt matter...they obviously havent sat in a cammed out v8 with solid mounts...thats called a vibration.

Hey Guys, I'm planning on buying the HT-Spec FF2 coilovers or Tein SS coilovers sometime this week for my 08 TL.S. Any thoughts or tips before I purchase it? Also can anyone in the area help with the install that has done this before or know of anywhere that I can get it installed. I would do it myself, but I just moved here about 6 months ago and I don't have any tools. Thanks

Love to help with the review of both...Personally I am not a big Tein fan. But I cannot telel you which one is better. I hear good stuff about the HT spec coil overs though.

Man, my battery is acting like its going to shit the bed already.

Its only been a year.....back about 6 months ago I forgot that my trunk was open a bit.
It ended up draining the battery to nothing.....you guys think that shortend the life?

I cant think of anything else it could be....ive heard the bluetooth can drain the battery as well.

Nope mounts would make a clunking noise along with a vibration at idle depending on how bad it is...Did not know this but both the front and rear on this car is vacuum/liquid filled mounts glad i got rid of those hunks. I still need to cut the hoses and plug the vacuum source.

They're not so much ricers (in terms of shitty looking cars), but there are a few punk kids who think they're the shit. I go to chill with buddies & that, b/c it's really just a meeting spot for different groups of friends who just happen to be interested in cars.

There are a couple nice cars there, but I'd only suggest going out of curiosity & then leaving if you don't like what you see; you won't be missing much if you don't know anybody out there.

I'll try to get with Trance this weekend & see if maybe we can get a GTG going for you guys before the snow comes next month.

No offense, but I don't think this is a meet you would enjoy. Definitely not worth the drive you have to make.
