yeah it wold be very dangerous to drive w one missing, but i guess if you only drive like that for a day or 2, but definitely not pushing the car like that and getting it up to 3 digits...
in my case the lug nut tool just broke in half, so went to the shop and got them taken out, and in the meantime i ordered some lug nuts that were off of gt2 (thats another performance mod right there hehehe, lol) and they came in within 2 days so it wasnt that bad.

Yeah, that should be good for at least 2 HP or so.

Im gonna get my missing lug nut from performance products, since it came with my H&R 15mm spacers. so is road force ballancing the same as ballancing? and do most reputable tire shops use the hunter 9700? I got my tires mounted and ballanced at a local tire shop (firestone) and so I didnt ask what they used. I think my mechanic said my tire was out of round.

I was told the hunter machine only runs the wheels up to the equivilent of 65 mph . Is this true? The poster said he gets vibrations at 85-95 mph. How does the hunter machine work?

U can "gram" balance tires on most of the high end tire balancers..

instead of 1/4 oz increments in weight, the balacer can call for 1.34 oz and so forth.... works pretty good for high speed balancing..

the vibration sounds like a tire problem to me..

What is the typical price for a Roadforce Hunter balancing? I've been quoted $50 at one shop, and as much as $100 at another shop... What do you guys normally pay for this?

when i replaced my rear tires i changed my front ones too and the front ones were used for 3 months on a mercedes. I think the front may be out of round. if this is the problem how can it be fixed? Im gonna take my car to the tire shop next week.
