Default Those things were flat out scary driving home. I'm thinking Alcon 6-pot w/ 13" rotors.

"blow out the bugs"

Default Not the very last one. Something is up with those since it was happening to toms car too

I'm going to give discount a call soemtime today and ask them about. New alloy's can do that from what some people said at the track but we'll see. Kind of scary to say the least!

I think it was that I was turning WAAAY too much and the car was trying to spit out the lug nuts

Default this happened w/ the lugs that Edge Racing sent w/ the Flix. used ~2mm longer lugs and no

more issues.

mechanic said there were too few threads engaging. only about 4 complete turns w/ the Edge bolts, which he said was not enough.

i called Edge and mentioned this to them and they said they would send new longer bolts ASAP. they sent the same exact length bolts as the first time even after i told them the measurements from the not long enough bolt.
