1 - Install the Motor Plate [14] and Left Side Pod Plate [15] using 4 3/16” flat head screws [16] to attach the pod plates to the Graphite Bottom Plate [10].
Keep an eye on these screws during the first few runs of your car. They tend to loosen until they “seat” and then they WILL stay tight.

2 - Insert 4 7/16” button head screws [17] through the Graphite “X” Brace [18] and then through the Ride Height Sliders [19] and then lightly tighten them
into the rear pod plates [14 & 15].

*Note - Although we are using steel screws in this kit, you may opt to use optional aluminum screws in the future. We do NOT recommend using thread
lock in any aluminum to aluminum application. The best way to keep these tight is by keeping a close watch on their tightness after your first few runs. In
time, the screw will naturally “seat” and stay tight.

SSEMBLY

1 - Place the Tweak Brace [20] on a smooth, flat table and thread the Tweak set screws [21] into the brace per the illustration. Try to
be careful to thread it in straight and perpendicular.

With the tweak screw threaded through the brace, thread the spring holder [22] onto the tweak screw as shown in the illustration.
The tweak screw should thread in until flush with the bottom of the spring holder. These spring holders do not require super glue to
hold them to the tweak screws, but a small dot can be added as a precaution if you wish.
