Actually i work on the car myself at a local shop and navy base so opening the head isnt that big of a deal plus i wont have to change the valve train if i do z1 cams and ill gain about 15 hp, mayb a lil more with tuning, with them. That and when they sell they go off at about $200. Just cant anyone right now

Aww, lose the lugnuts dude. For one, I don't think you're supposed to use them with OEM wheels and two, they tear up your wheel studs. Trust me, been there, done that...

BTW, love your car

not sure on the quality of those springs. i've used clubrsx edition springs and those were just fine. save up and get those if you can't get a coilover system.
