    strut tower brace

    it's a one person job, but you'll at least need a jack. Spend the ~$20 for jackstands or borrow them. what brand of STB is it? have to do some work on the car today... will post pics of the STB contact locations later.

    strut tower brace

    You shouldn't need an alignment. There should be nuts on the other side of the strut tower that can be accessed from inside the wheel well. The bolts at the firewall (if any) are probably held in with a threaded backing plate.

    13" Brembo rotors - Min thickness

    Shop said they can turn them. They're backup rotors now anyway & it's only $20 each to have them turned. Kinda want to see the job they do on them.

    You're right, the min thickness is on the rotor. It's not stated on the hat, but on the outer edge. Thanks!

    Blocking out plates in pics??????

    Block out on-track pics (or remove your plates). Big Brother insurance could be watching. Or seeing your unreported mods in your sigs. Probably not, but it's possible.

    If you remove the IAC (if possible), is there enough of the bolt sticking out to make a removal attempt with vise grips?

    Bar between the steering gear dust boots?

    What is that little hollow bar that goes betweem the steering gear boots for? One end keeps slipping out every now & then, & it's becoming enough to make me want to remove it completely. What is it supposed to be doing on there? Thanks.

    Seat Removal Problem

    There are 2 bolts on the bottom corners of the rear seat. For the top, fold the seats down, 3 bolts (i think) hold that top "cap" portion on. Once that's off, then a couple more that hold the seat frame & it should come out.
