First is there any advantage to using open ended lug nuts? And im putting coil overs on my eg and the bolt in the rear on the lca is a bitch to get off. Which i here is a common problem. How should i get it out and go about doing this?

As far as tge LCA bolts, Search. I just covered this not even a week ago in another thread. I'm not typing it all out again. The only real reason to run open ended lugs is when you have extended studs.

No, Rob drives a Toyota Camry... another guy at his work drives the Eg hatch.

I told you as well to spray the shit out of the bolts with P.B. Blaster as well otherwise buy new Lower Control Arms and new bolts for when they snap on you

Ya.I no u told me that, i just did that the past 2 days. And was goin 2 see if i could get away with using the stock lca's. I no probably not a good idea. But since many of u guys don't no me yet, I have a 6 month old baby girl and she is worth more to me spending my money on than my beater.lol. I just have the coil overs from my old civic. How much and where can i get some lca's?

if i remember right some classes in drag racing require you to have extended lugs to ensure the wheels stay on and when you use open extended lugs you should use openeded lug nuts cause the short caped off ones wont work

yeah it pretty much just allows you to have more threads so they stay on better not worth it on a normal street car

You get what you pay for too... The bushings in the BLOX LCAs go to shit and won't hold up.
