So after spending hours trying to pry apart the ball joints to install the new control arms last week....and not winning, we brought out the BFH and got the job done! Now i have new control arms, tension rods and tie rods!! just need to finish tightening it all up and adjusting it so the front wheels point in the same direction :lol: The Corona helped!

do you know how expensive 5 lug swaps are......even junk yard stuff. and whats the point really? other than to have more wheel choices. i like the wheels i have and im installing nismo studs so im not too worried.

How else are you going to put some R34 wheels on your ride?

Because thats worth close to $1000... :?

Seriously, we debated 5 lug conversion for a week and realized it really isn't worth the money, time and effort.


remind me to grab the really big wrenches next time Erin

r34 wheels are a ripoff and only for the super tyte jdm fanbois.....you wont see any 240's here in az drifiting on expensive wheels that you may bend. i dont want rare jdm, i want functional, strong, cheap, easily replaceable. my 5zigens are $800 a set for 8" lightweight wheels new. :)
