You are doing all of this without knowing how to get a stuck wheel off? Give it one really good smack with your foot right at the top dead center of the tire with it slightly elevated from the ground. It will come off, just dont hit the wheel

you need penetrating lube....chances are the wheel is rusted to the hub.....
slap a whack of penetrating lube on it and let it sit overnight...i had the same problem w/ my car last spring when taking off my winters...you run w/o hubaps all winter?

Thats what my mechanic has told me. So far, I have kicked it. Used 3 different pry bars. HAMMERED it and swore at it lol. Oh and ya, i didnt use Hubcaps, since my g/f Barely drove it this winter. We used my civic mostly.

I put the TRD strut/shocks in with the TRD springs so never experience the springs alone.
Because; 1) Stock dampers aren't designed for higher rate springs. I laugh out loud at the ricers going down the highway bouncing like a pogo stick. Slammed down on stock dampers. 2) There is too much time & skinned knuckles required to swap out the suspension in my driveway. I'd regret doing it all twice because I was 'too cheap' to invest in competent hi-po shocks/struts from the beginning. Of course, if you have a thick wallet and pay someone else to do the dirty work you may want to give it a try. Your choice.

I have had TRD springs for about 1 year prolly 18 to 20K miles on them, my rear shocks are starting to make a creaking noise sou yeah ... saving up for coilovers, I ride hard on them all the time so if I blow a shock before I can affor the coilovers its new shocks for me

Well I can't say what they are like on a course, but after I put DFs on my stock shocks, the lower center of gravity made curves a lot less dramatic. I also suspect they are the reason it feels a lot less floaty at higher speeds. With the DFs and my rear sway bar, this car handles amazingly well on stock tires.
