This is the sort of information one can find if they do a little internet research before asking questions. I guess that's me saying I'm sick and tired of people asking the same damn thing over and over then getting upset with us because we told them to search the internet. Oh and add your first name, location, and car info to your signature cause I'm not going to answer another question when your to damn lazy to introduce yourself.
