Then I'm not sure...but if you sit outside your car and have someone of equal weight get in, you'd be surprised how much it lowers that side of the car. Funny...I've often thought they should do an alignment with me sitting in it.

I don't think I can ever own a car without these again!






did you use the acura wheel locks in your spacers?

^^not a good idea from what I gather, there is very little extra space inside the wheel lock so some people have reported snapping off the head of the lock when trying to torque down on any stud that's slightly longer than the oem one with the wheel on.

Yeah, I never got a solid answer on the wheel locks, so to be safe I left them off. Better safe than sorry IMHO.

Over 3k miles and no problems though. I have made sure to keep them torqued properly and re-torque them if they are removed like when I did my brakes a few weeks ago.

Good man...I noticed that normally I'll torque to spec and then go around one extra time (like, all 5 lugs in star pattern till I've done them all twice)...then, when it comes time to retorque, they haven't budged.

I probably do about the same. It's an easy process to ensure your wheels stay on your car! So, why not do it?

Well, when I go around twice...they don't budge when I've tried to retorque 80 ft/lb.
