Bummer you're not happy with the kit. I like mine. I do think they make wheel changes extremely easy but I agree that they're not terribly aesthetically pleasing - fronts especially.

As for installation, did you put the wheels back on immediately? I had read previously on the internet, though it wasn't mentioned in the APEX install guide, that the car should be on jack stands for 24 hours without wheels on to allow the loctite to cure. I called APEX to ask their opinion on that and they confirmed that that was the best way to do the install.

I also asked them about torquing to 30lbs after I was unable to find an appropriate 5.5mm hex socket anywhere. They said all that was necessary was to thread it in until the threads bottom out then stop - the loctite does the rest.
