ahhhhh...wouldn't that be bad??? Wouldn't using an impact on them make all of your lugs a different torque therefore allowing your rotors to warp? Also, wouldn't that allow your lugs to work themselves loose?

BTW...carefull with Tuffy's guys. My buddy just got his MX6 realigned (it was a bit off when we put his GC's and Tokicos on it) and they had to install a camber kit, but they didn't tighten the lugs far enough and he about lost his front wheel. When we took it to a shop to have the brake pads changed(he needed them done on a day I couldn't help him) there was also a wabba wabba and they said that 19 of his lugs were loose.
