for the price of a 53mm socket, you can swap the nuts for the GU setup, which is a lot better, has 1 nut and a locking plate which screws to the nut.. wont undo on LH side ect. you have to take the sleve that the hub goes over out of the disk, to fit them on a gq. i replaced mine after fitment, have heard some ppl leave them out.

the proper socket is only $20, it wont undo if you know how to use the washers properly......or you could upgrade.

If your too lazy to go buy one you could always get it delivred....

plus the bother of getting new washers all the time.. only paid $45 for the conversion... reckon its well worth it.

I keep em in stock so i cant say it really worries me, but if you like you can spend $45 as opposed to $3.50...im tight and will stick to the original setup on my own car and customers cars unless they specify otherwise lol
