Uh-oh, what's that all about?

...your wheels flying off at 70 mph on the freeway

Well, almost. Threads came out of the lugs. I had to hobble to MNdude's house on 2 donuts then i picked up a set of Std lugs and now im rolling on borrowed steelies.

Definitely man. You don't want your wheels flying off at 70 mph on the freeway

I'm just using the OE open lugs. Gotta be careful with that because the ITR's use the acorn style seating unlike the conical style of most tuner lugs. I've seen people use tuner lugs with the ITR's but I wouldn't recommend it unless they have the acorn style seat.

Good to know. I was gonna pick up a set of conical lugs, but now ill look for the acorn style, if not, ill stick with OE style.

I'm looking into the Skunk2 and D2 coilovers. The Skunk2s have various spring rates for the rear opposed to the standard 6 its seam most others only offer with the exception of Tein.

D2's are very nice in terms of quality. I'm not exactly sure about the build quality of the Skunk2's but if custom is what you want for a low price then I think that's probably your best bet. The Koni/GC is also a great custom solution, but you pay a premium (then again, it's worth it).

I have the first generation Type II's. They ride great if you aren't very low however they get much worse the lower you go.

With my 15" wheels, a no finger gap in the rear, and a 2 finger gap in the front the ride is somewhat bumpy but bearable. When they are completely lowered out (Tucking tire in both front and rear) the ride is super bouncy.

However, I've never ridden on anything else so I don't really have anything to compare this to other than the stock setup.

I'd recommend them for sure but given the prices of the newer version Type II's I'd also suggest looking into a Koni/GC setup as it is just about the best money can buy and only costs a little more.

How are the function 1 coilovers? I have been looking various coilovers. I may be upgrading soon.

Did you pick up any lugs for the Extended studs, or are you just running factory open lugs...

Im looking at getting a set of ARP studs as well, but IDK if i wanna get some purrdy extended lugs or just use OE ones.

You know you wanna put that Nikon to use.

we all know he wants to

I keep it busy enough without the car shots. Too bad I'm still not improving very much I think I need to start critiquing myself more or take some classes for this shit.

you have a nice ass wagon. but i lol'd when i read this

"JDM Chargespeed Wagon Wing Fell off on the highway"

Thanks man, and I know, I kind of laugh about it now even as unfortunate/stupid it was.
