I installed my Megan Springs today, Very very nice too. was a PIA but worth it. I forgot to clip one of my brake lines back to the strut, Is this something I should do before I go driving it for awhile?

Also somehow the lugnut bolt/stud broke and the bolt part fell back inside the rotor. I managed to get it back out and put the nut on it but its very wobbly. Is this something I should get fixed ASAP?

Pics coming soon, Got new springs for a 2in drop all the way around, and a JSP Carbon Fiber wing (Not installed).

take the few minutes to clip the line, fix your lugnut before you hurt someone or yourself, and make sure this, wing (Not installed) stays like that.

Yeah I can clip it in no problem but wanted to make sure driving to a store or something wouldnt kill it. as far as the lugnut issue goes ill get that when I can as long as it dont go through the CV joint. Was just askin if this lugnut issue would be ok to drive on for about a week at the most. Sorry for asking a question. I guess ill get back to my doughnuts and sitting on the highways.

As far as the wing goes, $500flat. It will be installed for sure. I think it will look nice and its my car. Will be sure to post pics as soon as I get it installed.

Why would you want to rock a 240 when you have a patrol car? just a joke, but lug nut should be up there on priority.

no need for wing in my opinion but i wouldnt really drive the car until you get that lug fixed. Ive seen some bad things happen from messed up lugs.

can we see some pics

i used to have megan springs. they didnt drop nearly enough for satisfaction.

if your car will have wheel gap, stock wheels, stock everything else, and that ridiculous carbon wing you spent FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS on.

your cars gonna look fairly lame.

Thats not the same wing, The one I got does not sit 10" off the deck. Only 5" so it shouldnt look to bad. better then the matrix wing i was going to get. lol. I'll go get some pics of the car with the springs on it.

And no my car is not stock. The wheels are stock there is almost no gap from the wheel to the car. Im satisfied with it.

by "almost" you mean theres still like 2 inches of gap, right?

remember, i had the SAME springs you for like 2 weeks before i got my coilovers. and theyre not that low at all.

so if your cars not stock, do you have like. a body kit and s***?
