Just wanted to let you know about a problem I've had after installing the AWE DTS. It appears that, if you re-use the existing 110mm bolts, there is only part of the bolt thread inside the threads in the chassis (due to the 3/8" thickness of the DTS), which can result in them stripping.

My tech discovered this last week, and the solution was to find new 130mm bolts and re-tap the chassis threads.

So if you're planning to install one, check that 130mm bolts are included in the kit, and if not purchase some before you start.

I told AWE about this but their response was just to assure me that there can't be a problem as they've been making this kit for years.

Don't forget the factory bolts ARE NOT reusable. They're torque to yield. They MUST be replaced.

but I didn't get any.

I also had stripped a chassis nut. Had to have a helicoil put in mine to fix it.

What's TTY?

Oh, torque to yield. Just figured it out.

No apology, no we'll fix the hardware kit, nothing.

They include enough washers yet? (they didn't when I bought one last year).
