ArticwhiteZ-great experience.
I cant say anything negative about this seller(articwhitez). Shipped in a timely manner and all parts were properly package and shipped in a damage proof box. No haggling or upselling. I would do business with him any day of the week.

on my car..i used the stock nuts..as that is what the Lakewood struts fit..OEM parts..your Koni struts are not OEM..
the nuts I have are plated.(at my cost)and fit the lakewood struts..but did not come on the struts.... I looked in the tech from Lakewood...they do not say they come with the nuts...as they are to replace OEM parts..if they do come with them I will send them to you free of charg..I will also note this...in the feedback...

Re: ArticwhiteZ-great experience.
glad ya got it worked out... nylocks would be the only locking nut I would use..as the ones I used just spin on and off..and the top of the lakewoods only give you a 1/4" shoulder to hold onto when ya snug the nuts down... even reg nuts would work...the Viking coil overs I upgraded to come with top nuts I think.. ill have to ask..

Re: ArticwhiteZ-great experience.
update.. talked to Lakewood..and...NO the nuts are not shipped with the struts..use the ones your car came with...OEM .. Glad that's over...after I polished mine up and had them zink plated..would suck to have to send them off..
my trader rating should be over 75 now..nobody uses it anymore seems..
most don't know how to use it anyway...so it still sits at 41
