You have to use different lugs for different wheels. stock BBS's I have McGard open ended shank style with a washer cause I'm running on the extended studs. in the rear I'm just using regular old stock lugs. with the CCW's I have some tiny gorilla open ended acorn style, but Im going to be upgrading to a more durable set before I head back to the track. The CBRD ones look real nice, but I can't justify spending that kind of $ on lug nuts.

me either, thats way to permanent of a solution for such a temporary problem.

Got the 5Zigen racing lugnuts on my car now. I like them alot. Really light and sturdy. I like how the face that touch the wheels flare out more, unlike some others I've seen. The package comes with 25 (20 regular, and 4 locks) so you could choose to run lock keys, or incase you loose one.

Hey Jeff, what rotors are you running on your car? Thinking about getting some pads from Pete soon and trying to get a feel for a good set up, without having to buy expensive 2 piece rotors.
1 piece Racing Brakes, talk to Pete

I think a 20mm is more likely! The offset is perfect for the rears though.

Being back at work sucks!

My brain is all screwed up from being on the boat too, if I stand still to long I start to sway... I hate that feeling.

Whats going on in here? Too much to try and get caught up on... Dan your clutch is in, how does it feel?

It feels good. It's day two with it and just sat in two hours of bumper to bumper traffic for 50 miles. I'd say it's well on it's way to being broken in. It took a little getting used to at first but it is getting better. A little wear isn't helping that too.

okay guys. i know dan recommended me some place but I forget where. I think my dad may have found an Evo, but is looking to get financing away from the dealer, since the rates are apparently crap. anyone know of a good bank, or any other place that offers good financing for a car like an Evo X with a decent amount of cash down.

i know rates will vary, but looking to shop around and find the best possible. thanks in advance for the help guys.

and glad to hear the clutch is working out great. I am in search of a new lip thanks to a huge tree branch, two idiot drivers, and a late night drive. want CF but would hate to trash it, maybe apr i dont know. im do broke to think haha.

Does APR make a lip for the VIII? I thought they only made them for IXs. Unless you are talking about the little undertray type deal. I do have a brand new carbon lip sitting at home...wink wink!
