Certain specs I don't mess with. Suspension, wheels, brakes, and engine. They are what they are for a reason. Safety. I don't buy into the "my grandpappy did it this way for 60 years and nothing went wrong" mentality. I know a lot of morons; doesn't mean because he runs into a brick wall for fun I want to as well. I had the wheel studs snap on a previous car and the wheel came off on the highway after a shop didn't torque it properly. Talk about pucker factor.

Yeah A 1/2" is your best bet, I bought a 3/8" because it was high enough to go to what my HHR Specs were, but when I got the Camaro and saw It was 140 I had to go the !/2" wish I had gotten it in the first place.
