https://conceptzperformance.com/sear...ks+4-Piece+Set

i was under the impression that those were the only lugs that would fit with the stock (base) studs. since im hoping to switch over to H&R DRS spacers (which includes the studs), will i have to purchase a new set of lugs?

if the H&R DRS stud threads to jive with the lugs/locks that i have, it may not be worth it at this time.

Yes, get new lugs.

What NISMO wheels did you purchase, the OEM wheels from the NISMO version or the NISMO accessory wheel aka LMZ-5's

If you are purchasing the OEM version I agree with kenchan that spacers are not needed. The LMZ-5's definitely need them

Yes, the Acorn won't tighten down on the 15mm stud versions

leave it stock or gets swifts or go quality coil overs. no in betweens.

Why would he need adjustable dampers for springs? He would need a camber kit but not adjustable dampers right away. Down the line he could replace his shocks but I don't agree that they need to be adjustable

Yup, I got the OEM Nismo wheels; cooltoy provided the link from right after i installed them (there are other pics in my Album for reference). As far as the springs go, Swifts drop a little to low for me at this point, and I think the Eibachs would provide a more subtle drop and would better for daily driving since they're progressive rate. I dont plan on tracking the car and rarely drive "aggressively," but I may switch over the coilovers once it becomes my weekend buddy. The shop that im working will also have the camber kit and toe bolts (which we may not use...it'll depend on the alignments reads). ive heard the story about the Eibach/damper issue, but i think ive only come across one instance where someone had an issue. for the most part, those who have the Eibachs have been satisfied.

Looking good! I personally think you're fine without spacers

Call me crazy, I wouldn't even bother lowering your car. I think your wheels fit so well that you don't need a drop. You can always do it later.

since you asked, he got the prokits right? ive experimented with several eibachs in the past and they dont work well on stock dampers. if he got swifts, then im sure he can get by.

i only speak from experience.
