^^^ Wow that looks like a great time, can't wait for my suspension to be finished so I can make it out to some local tracks myself.

It really was a great day! And I got to back-to-back compare my suspension with the NISMO 370's and I have to say... Mine sure held it's own. It felt great.

What color did they go with? Any pics? That brushed metal you did would look badazz as a full wrap.

Gonna try out these little boogers. EVS "Super Lap" Racing Lug Nuts

My varrsteons were actually rusting. Hoping these work out better because I dropped some $$$$$$ on them.

OHH BROOOO, my bushing was already shot, it is now PWNED. I can't even shift hard without the bottom falling out every time. It's brutal. You want FI, a MUST is the diff bushing.

I was going to ask. I have the varrstoen open ended lugs also.
And I have been seeing some rust start to form inside, Is this going to be an issue???

Rust would lead to corrosion which could potentially lead to failure.

I'm not chancing it. If more than anything it just looks like crap. What I've learned - if you're going to go with Open End lug nuts, you're gonna have to pay $$$$$$$ to get quality.

That whole bushing is gone. Hate to tell you, but that bushing was shot a while ago. Just an item you missed before purchase.
