When are ARP bolts needed / suggested? I'm having my A4 swapped over to a M6 in a few days. Should I replace any of the bolts with the ARP ones while everything is apart? Is it needed or suggested, or jut totally optional? Thanks.

I got ARP flywheel and pressure plate bolts for my clutch swap coming up. I'd rather do everything right and spend a little extra money than have one of the shitty stock bolts back out and wreck something a lot more expensive than a $30 set of bolts.

Any bolt can back out, weather its stock or ARP. The stock ones are fine unless your really revving the motor out there. When my first clutch blew up....the stock bolts were still in the flywheel, not bent or anything, but I didnt reuse them, just got new ones.

That's like saying that it's okay to keep your stock rod bolts instead of upgrading. Sure, there's a chance that nothing could **** up, but I'm more of a fan of "preventative measures" than "hope" when it comes to an LS1 clutch.
