Are extended studs a good idea on OEM wheels? I'm assuming that would make it so you have to use open end aftermarket lugs, which aren't the correct shape for a stock wheel.

Hey, are you using the ngk damper off of an accord or are they making one for preludes now? I got the one for the accord but I have power steering so that didnt work too well
