Installed Coilivers, Rear Tires Bald Now

I just lowered car with coil overs. Within a couple months the rear tires on my car have gone bald. I’m not a mechanic and I do you need help with this issue. I love to mod cars and I don’t know what’s going on here. I have been told for my friends that is it might have something to do with the camber kit. I’m pretty lost on what to do in this situation except get new tires as soon as possible.

I don’t want to go for a bunch of set of tires before getting this problem fixed. I would probably lose a couple 100 dollars if I let that happen. So maybe you guys can help me get this figured out. Anybody have any idea what it could be..

Orange Brake Calipers

I am thinking about painting my brake calipers orange. I know its somewhat of a unique color. But the color orange is unique and I like that. Calipers should be unique colors to be cool I think. There are too many regular colored ones out there on the streets.

I want to paint my brake calipers orange. Another question is, what kind of paint is a food brand and quality to go with? I need to know as soon as possible.

Lug Nut Just Spins

Question

It has come time to rotate my tires and I wanted to save some money and just do it myself. The only thing stopping me is the fact of the lug nut just spinning when I try to remove it.  What is happening here on my vehicle?

Answer

The most common cause of your lug nut just spinning is having them over tightened. What happens is the rear of the lugs strip out their teeth in which are there to make tight on the entire unit.

To fix this, you need to install new lug studs. You will most likely have to drill out the bad studs that spin. All vehicles are different, so research your vehicle on how to change lug studs.
