I don't recommend tightening them down with an impact gun. I think the instructions specifically say not to use one as well. You run the chance of damaging/warping the spacer or wheel. The odds are it will be ok but not worth the chance imo. You are always 100% sure your wheels are torqued properly using a calibrated torque wrench and the proper torque setting.
Oh dam......good save, thanks for the info! Suggestions on torque weight for the spacer lugs?

ETA: Tire shop said they only use Torque wrench for wheels. Now I just need to figure out the torque specs. I see some people going with 85 per the box, others going 110, im slightly confused

Those eibach ones look like cast cheapos.
They do

Eibachs description has them as "Aircraft grade aluminum"

These American Muscle billet ones feel like an IED strapped to one of them couldnt break it, so I guess there is not much to worry about. Excited for the new look tomorrow morning

Ro - Looking great sir.

I don't say "on point" or killing it often because I'm an old man but this looks fantastic.

Red. Gloss Black AMR's - My heads spinning, I love everything about this.

Time to start looking for 2015's again!

Alex

Hey guys, I dont have the means to take the wheels off and check these myself after install. Do I really need to have them re-checked after 50-100 miles per the box instructions, or do you think with a little locktite and torqued to 95lbs, ill be able to make it until the following weekend to go back to the tire shop and have them checked? Or....am I over thinking this and just need to torque them correctly, drive off and enjoy? Normally I would not stress this at all, but on my charger I hit a bad pothole going about 60mph and had the wheel just break off the car....as you can imagine i went sliding, loud grinding noises, sparks, and almost slammed into a bunch of cars (luckily did not), so I guess I have a little phobia lol
