| with a GOOD torque wrench (craftsman is good). ~80 ft. lbs. -Keep tire/wheel off ground, -Put each lug nut on with fingers, snug them finger tight -Put tire/wheel on ground -Go in sequence, starting @ about 40ft. lbs, going in a " star " pattern, Do all 5 lugs this way.... -Then step up to ~80 ft. lbs, and again doing the " star " skip pattern. Doing all 5 lugs this way. Doing these steps, I have NEVER had a brake rotor (crossdrilled or slotted) warp on me. NEVER!! use an impact gun to tighten, even using Torque sticks are innacurate. Most Z'er on this site knows how to do this torqueing properly, But this is for the ones who don't.. Later, Shawn300zTT
 NO, This picture is not photoshopped. It took many times to take this picture. Setting up the timer, shutter speed etc, then jumping on my bike and getting the tire to spin. AIM:Shawn300zxTT "-Any closeups on the nuts? - zboost(tx) 19:17:53 08/08/05
