How many clips need to be removed from the undertray? to access the front jacking point? From what I've read it seems to be a ***** to remove the clips, is it? Did any of you replace them with http://www.streettunedmotorsports.co..._mu488006.htm? People seem to say they are easier/faster to remove.
I got my jack yesterday, and broke down and ordered the US Jacks 3-Ton. So I spent $450 for just the jack + stands
I will fill better getting under my car, and I plan to keep them my whole life, so good investment for me.

I'm going to do my front pads in two weeks, should I get a torque wrench for the wheel lugs? Or can I get away without for now? Probably not something I should risk?

What was the margin? I usually round up to the nearest division of five. So in this case, 20 if spec is 17 +/-3.
