yeah so, fun times the other night driving home from the cape. coming home doing about 70-80ish, nothing too fast, but not exactly slow. all of a sudden i hear a noise at the same time it feels like something broke free in the rear left side of the car. so now the car decides to start drifting in the middle of the highway at 70-80 mph. yeah not so much fun going sideways, then turning the other direction going sideways, then back to the left going sideways. all i could think about was hitting the barriers or other cars. luckily the highway was pretty empty, and i managed to keep it pretty much in my lane. so i finally slow down and get to the break down lane, but can't see shyt without a flashlight. call AAA and get towed home. while it's on the wrecker, the driver notices that my left rear tire is being held on by 1 lugnut...........uh.....what? yeah, 1 lugnut....looks like someone might have been trying to steal the rims, but who knows. how the hell does that happen? yeah so that was my adventure......then my lawn mower broke when i was cutting the grass today, but that was less traumatic...just a bit

Dennis, lucky it did not fall off completely! You sure the lugs just weren't torque'd properly? Either way...you were lucky, and it was an easy fix!

I know someone with the DBAs and the tophats started to rust after a short time. I wasn't impressed with the asthetics at all.

You can try this place:
http://www.designrt.net/

They are in Lowell. We set up a group by on the Subaru forum a while back and someone just picked them up to save shipping. I'd be in for a set of rotors for the V.

They will drill/slot or do whatever. They also have zinc plated tophats as an option to keep them looking sexy.
