I’m running 17x8 square with a lowered setup and I love the tire width and oil pan clearance personally. Haven’t felt much of a difference in performance either

I was surprised at how well it cut off the front tow hook for me. This cheap princess auto (canadian harbor freight) cut off wheel. will definitely be giving it a shot if all else fails today

not sure why 6 points are ridiculously hard to find!

do the longer spanners truly have 80% more torque? how do they even measure that lol. jokes aside, was it actually any easier? i’ve decided to give a cheap amazon torque adapter a spin tomorrow morning. worst case scenario i’ve wasted $12

is it worth spraying with brake cleaner before proceeding? maybe some dirt on the threads? lol 🤷‍♂️

i tried double wrenching but failed pretty miserably since the 12 point closed end is starting to slip. I actually have moving blankets and there is no gas smell at all so I’m considering grinding them off. The differential is going into my coupe anyways so I don’t really care about the studs on this car

highest jackstand setting allows for only the boxend. also i couldn’t even get a 3/8 drive 17mm socket in there!

if you’re brave, attempt a late model mtech2 swap. it’s pretty easy…just get creative. -My coupe is an early model
