Corksport sent me a new right bracket a few days ago. The center nut can actually thread on now and there's even enough room for a socket to torque it down!

Yep, just got it two days ago.

In the few minutes I spent at Home Depot, the only nuts I could find that fit have a 17mm head vs the 14mm head on the stock ones, so there isn't any room for the socket. I screwed it on as tight as I could for now and I'll try to find some better ones later. If not, I think faulty construction...

Thanks man, it's nice getting praise from one of my inspirations :) As for the lug nuts, I've got a buddy who's had all sorts of problems with aluminum ones and I'd rather not take my chances. Of course the steel ones I bought aren't exactly perfect though... Two of them have a tiny bulge one...

Most likely, it's not quite straight out from the bolt.

There's definitely enough room to get a socket centered on it, I just need a thinner nut because the stock ones are flared at the bottom.

So I got my Corksport rear strut brace and new lug nuts in the mail today. Installing the brace was pretty quick and easy, once I stopped being stubborn and loosened the bolts on the ends of the brace. Here are some pics: The ends look black in this picture, but they are the normal blue...

Fo free! I'm in Fort Worth, Texas (76179)

I've got the whole set up I could give to you, if you pay the shipping

Agreed. Had mine about a year and a half now and am still loving it. Don't think it gets much better.

After a couple days of a sort of grinding noise and vibrations at speeds above 40 mph, I realized we had forgotten to torque the lug nuts after we did the brakes a couple of weeks ago. (hand) As a result, all of the nuts were pretty loose and I am actually missing 1 each from both of the right...

No thanks, my brakes are already done :P

I had to have the engine running to bleed the brakes. Without it on, the pedal just became impossible to push...

Both. I want a fun daily driver that is also a solid track car. I don't plan on racing it at all until I've got another set of tires so I'm not eating up my dailys, but once I do I plan to start autoxing. Competing in time attack one day would be really cool

They're mostly a good place to throw my random change, shifter condom and what not haha

Hi guys, my name's Addison, I'm 20 years old as of three weeks ago and I live in Fort Worth, Texas. I've had my Protege5 since March 2011 and have been a member here since May 2011. Though I've never really posted anything, I'm on here 24/7. Just about everything I've learned about my car, and a...

Thanks! And it's not too late, you can make a set fit on a Lancer :)

I've got plans for some Enkei PF01's eventually, but that's not gonna be for a long while

Having never experienced a "lightweight" set of wheels, they work just fine for me :)

Just the stock 215/45/17 with Kuhmo Ecsta ASX
