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!

OP why are you removing your wheel if you don't have a torque wrench to put it back on properly???
