^It was crazy dude. I mean it was a road with a 45 mph limit, guy was going 35-40. I hadn't eaten all day (skipped lunch at work) and just wanted to get home, so admittedly I was little impatient and I passed him with some aggression. But I didn't look at him, make a gesture, or cut him off, I was just trying to get home. Then he caught up to me (I was doing 50), and just cruised the same speed shouting and going all crazy. I had my windows down as usual, but let him embarass himself while looking straight forward and not looking at him or responding in any way. I could have done many things, but chose not to.

@Evan - I don't see how there's enough room in the wheel well for a breaker bar?

I used a ratchet with a 14 mm (or is it 15?) socket with a fairly long extension, the ratchet then sits out away from the rotor and you can put a steel pipe over the ratchet wrench. Voila!

If you line up your wrench that is holding the bolt still with the frame somewhere so it gets 'stuck' when rotating, you can then use both hands to hold the ratchet and push the pipe at the same time (I used a 3 foot pipe it provides plenty of leverage).

If you like, I can certainly take a picture of what I'm talking about.

Okay so you need a 15(or 14mm socket preferably a extended one)
-3 foot steel pipe (home depo for like 8 bucks then return it.. lol)
-15/14mm wrenches (one short one)
-Good old PB blaster (wait 35-45 minutes and use it 2 times if its really bad but I doubt you'll need to)
-And don't forget the ratchet wrench + extension lol

Shame I don't like 7Gs. Well, maybe the 7.5G I'd trade my CG for an 0607 coupe.

Now, someone tell me; other than "wheel gap", "looks" and "handling", why I should lower my car. My gf asked me why I wanna lower it--like legitimately asked--and I still can't give her a legit, justifiable reason. It's not necessarily putting doubt in my mind but it's really got me thinking.

Wouldn't mind finding a CL-S or 7G coupe.

Oh, and thoughts? ...http://topeka.craigslist.org/cto/3195446555.html
Don't know why he's doing it or if the title is clean, but it seems legit to me.

:coffee:

Seriously? If you can't think of a good reason, then don't do it I guess.


But I think "looks" and "handling" are both very valid reasons....

Tell her this and maybe she'll understand.
