Re: BJK's '95 GPX
What i would think is the perfect lock nut, is if it had two sections, one where you put like a key in, that removes the cover, then the wheel nut part which requires the special shaped tool.
Then get 3 other different ones.

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
Yeah because they got the keys from inside his house lol I don't think ANY lock nuts are going to prevent that haha

I'm thinking I'll just get the one set.
The tuner nuts have a key anyways.

I have the tuner nuts already though, and what you're suggesting is pretty much what I was intending to do.vipfto wrote:As I said before tuner nuts..... prob is us old people give you answers but you young ones dont listen then blame us for not helping.....

Tuner nuts offer no security? I don't understand?
I had extended wheel nuts on mine and all you needed was a deep socket?

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
I knew there was a catch on the socket thing. But as said, you take as many precautions as you can warrant, and if someone really wants your wheels, they'll probably get them anyway.silverGPX wrote:Tuner nuts offer no security? I don't understand?

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
But what if I want to do it ironically?
Meanwhile, as I kind of expected, won't be picking up the car today either...

Re: BJK's '95 GPX
Putting those rims and tyres on will change the feel of the car far more than changing to coilovers. Just by some BC's, v1 if your a pussy, and get on with it. Stop pissing around with spring rates and shock/spring combos. These coilovers on full soft are very comparable to stock minus the feeling that your driving boat. Oh, and the spring rates your talking about are ridiculous, defeats the entire purpose of coilovers.
