    oh wow.. ok so it wasn't D1SPEC that broke but that's still a concern for most of us..

    so next question would be what brands do we need to get? is there any way to check if it's a reliable brand or not? what brands are the other guys using?

    lesson learned! hope you learned from it.
    when modifying/altering/changing anything in the suspension or steering components, make sure safety is not compromised. when replacing lugnuts, wheels, installing hub spacers, make sure the studbolt engagement is at least as deep as the diameter of the studbolt. if the lugnut is open ended, it is recommended that at least two threads are protruding beyond the lug nut outer surface. if the lugnut is that of acorn type, use an open lugnut as a gauge or as a basis for a visual confirmation before replacing the lugnuts with acorn type lugnuts. and always torque tighten to prevent over/under torquing fasteners

    isa pa gumagamit kasi kayo ng spacer... it gives unnecessary stress sa wheels kasi offset yung center nung wheels sa rotor... nagkakaron tuloy ng lever since wala sa center yung gulong...kaya ayun pag kumalas lipad yung gulong
