I have springs, spacers, and a camber kit coming on Thursday. Since I have never put a car up on jacks I wanted to do it early so that if I had any issues I could deal with them tomorrow. Last thing I wanted to do was to deal with crap with goodies sitting around! My plan was to get a torque wrench tomorrow in preparation for putting the wheels back on after the mods.
I actually have an 18" wrench but not a 21mm socket. So I used the spare thing. Didn't notice the damage until after I got the wheel off. :/ On a bright note...I got it up on jacks using a forum thread about where to put them! Quote:

You need to torque everything back to spec that you take off, not just wheels. You definitely don't want to mess up doing suspension and spacers. Are you prepared? |

As prepared as I can be I think thanks to the370z.com! Been watching videos and such. I've done exhaust and brakes before so am comfortable...enough.

when you put the new springs on and compress them, you'll have to secure the top here (i used an adjustable wrench) and use a crescent wrench to tighten the nut down (may need to do this when you disassemble as well)  the other tricky part is making sure the rubber mount aligns perfectly. it moves during reassembly too.  good luck |

Read up on how to use the torque wrench properly. That is a dangerous tool if you don’t know how to operate it. You will snap the wheel stud like a pretzel stick if not careful.
