Well after sitting at dealer for an hour they came out an told me they couldn't do it today. Said the only lift they could fit my car on was occupied and would be occupied till Monday. Don't kno I this was true or not. So, I started thinking just do it yourself! I already had plans to install y Stillen intake (which I did) figured why not try and dedicate the day to the car. Went to Home Depot and Lowes to pick up some washers and a open ended lug, 12 x 1.50 and neither had the lug/nut needed! Stupid question but, where can I find one? And do I NEED a torque gun to seat the studs or can it be done with ratchet? Might give it a go Sunday. Hell, I'm sure it's recommended but I'm only doing 10mm, do I even NEED the extended studs?
