After helping POS Racing change his wheels in Baton Rouge, I decided that I really like the acorn lug nuts better than my open-end ones because they do not get stuck inside the socket. So, I could run to Autozone and pick up some acorns, or should I look into the light weight ones? Considering my car, would it be worth $100 for the light weight ones? I am thinking not, but I thought I would put it out there.
Also, any other suggestions? (About my nuts, that is.)

Simillar to these:
Remind me to bring you some acorn nuts. I think I've got a bunch sitting in a bag in the garage.
I say, save you pennies for an R-package!

If you get them, don't leave them laying around... because, you know, squirrels love those acorn nuts...

Thanks! Just a reminder, don't forget to bring me some nuts.
I prefer to have power steering, so I was thinking about first getting my current Konis revalved to kill some of my roll, and eventually buy a 96 or 97, to which I can transfer the Konis. It seems hard to find a good 96 or 97 that is not loaded up, though.
The re-valving will not be cheap, but it will probably be less than the time and money I would spend looking for an R that would probably need revalved shocks, anyway.

remember that Koni offers a revalve service, and that their main guy is a good friend of Phil Osborne (I have all his contact info)
and also, if you are a Solo Nationals competitor at Topeka, for the last several years they have offered a rebuild/repair service on site at much less than via normal shipping process
might be time to go to Topeka

you should call Koni and see when they will be there, whether they will take a "reservation" in their line of jobs to do, etc
depending on their schedule and when you run, it might work out
