So I've ordered SKF hubs for use on all four corners. I was wondering, if while I have them off the car, if it would be a good idea to get ARP wheel studs? If so, longer than stock? Good price and source? Thanks.

Whats the point. Just a waste of money IMHO. No one has snapped a stock stud. Maybe because we have 6 of them. Don't see it helping anything.

What are you using the car for? If its just a street car with occasional track days I wouldnt bother but on the other hand it certinaly wont hurt.

I have snapped a stock stud. While removing the hub to replace it I snapped a hub bolt. Fun day that turned out to be. Longer studs needed for spacers.

Yea I have snapped a stock stud also, pain in the ***.

So every one snapped stock studs while removing the hub. Has any one snapped them while driving?

i would imagine most snapped studs start at a lax tire service center...

It's quickly turning into a mainly track car.

Thanks for all the input. My thought was that it might be good in the long run considering how many times I take the wheels on and off. At the same time though, I haven't had any issues with the stock bolts. The SKF hubs come with new bolts but I have no idea of the quality of those.

If you are continuing to do performance upgrades you might get to the point where the longer studs are required.

If that is the case it might be easier to go ahead and change them now.

When I was looking for new studs I shopped Ebay & Amazon. Found some good deals.

Good luck.

I snapped mine using torque wrench cheap lug nuts were used. Also snapped hub bolt while removing hub to replace previously snapped wheel stud.

I'd swap them all to ARP.
I take it your keeping the 6 lugs instead of switching to 5 with the SKF hubs?
