I couldn't say, but don't see why not? I've heard some people say 15, some swear 25. I did mine with 15ohm 25amp, I leave the selecter in 'perf' and haven't had any problems or codes at all. I'd think it would work, if you have 'em laying around try them, what's the worst that can happen? (Except the 80MPH thing, that would suck!)

Program the F45 out for $50 gone forever no worries about resistors getting wet or falling off. Tech 2 at any service station the procedure is simple and available via search

Curious as to what you paid and where purchased?
I have seen them at Summit for around $750 for set, pricey i know but i figure get the best and be done with it probably for the life of the car

I waiting to hear this answer also....before I buy

Well, it's been 29 days since I asked the question so I guess we'll never know.
