    Beautiful work ! I'm thinking of getting the Yellow Top. I understand people have had problems with the Red Top. Did you need a adapter to install it ? Were the cable posts in the same position as the OEM ? Thanks for any info.

    Pain in the ass.
    I'm not going to wait in line just to ask someone to activate the compressor... and if I'm doing all 4 tires, it's going to take a 2nd trip.

    You'd think there wouldn't be lines in the gas station with everyone using plastic and Speedpass... but there they are. 4-5 deep.

    If I break a bolt while removing them I don't have the proper tools to remove it. I tried to take out the one from my skid plate with a bolt extractor and the bolt extractor broke in the hole.
    also, i was quoted by a shop that it would take 6-7 hours to install (potential seized bolts) at $110/hour shop rate.

    Not really free when your gas is $2/per gallon more than places that charge you a buck in the off-chance you need air. Californians are so proud of all their laws while their state is the post-child for how not to be a free-state.

    Not at all. The gas station compressors are automated. Walk to the front of the line ( if necessary) and you simply ask the clerk for the daily code (3 digits). Punch the code into the keypad to activate the compressor, do it multiple times if necessary.

    :)

    I'm just worried about removing the two lower bolts on the LCA and the cam bolts so that I can remove the coil over. Unless..... I don't have to loosen the LCA cam bolts...

    your just swapping the coilover???

    you dont need to remove any UCA or LCA's bolts, it is easier to take and removed the UBJ connection and pull the UCA up out of the way, I would not touch the LBJ unless you absolutely need too

    I installed a yellow top after running a red top for about a year, hard to say no for a new battery less than $140..the + terminal didn't reach so I made a cable extension and electrical tap to seal it up.

    lucky you I still had a pic on my phone.
