After install mine into my EK4 (LHD) European model , i noticed that some adjustments are needed , so here is my own install how -to:

1. Jack the left front corner up- ( dont need to remove the wheel)

2. Remove plastic caps from the shock turrets ( some knife or small screwdriver may be needed)

3. undo the two 14mm headed bolts located at the front and back of the shock turret.

4.Then pull the upper wishbone from sit place , and rotate it by 180 º , so you gain total acess to put the bolts into place .

5. Need to reverse this cable holder ...you can do the job with a knife or small screwdriver to open it.





6. Secure the brake stopper in place and adjust the bolt against the brake booster.Torque the 13 nuts to secure it in place.







7.Re-fit all back by inverse order , and torque shock turret bolts to 40 lb-ft

8. jack down

NOTE : In my case i needed to cut some part from my brake stopper to fit plug and play :





Hope Tegiwa imports dont mind about this topic , but i only decided to make this topic to help anyone who will fit this item and save some time , as we can see there are some instructions and precious tricks that are needed to be done ...

Note 2: before someone ask : yes i painted the brake stopper!!lol

best regards to all

Nice write up!!!
Not sure why you had to modify it though...
Anyone else?

This is what they look like - pre-custom paint

There is some angle into the shock turret , in my case , the brake stopper dont sit totally , so i needed to cut a little bit...maybe the holes/shock turret are imperfect...its just some milimeters...

BTW: after install it ...the brake diference is alot ...gain more direct/quick feel into pedal
