$90 for a header stud kit? That's insane to me. Just re-use your factory bolts, be sure to use some anti-seize on them so you won't cross thread any and you won't have trouble unbolting them if you ever have to take them off. Plus, they're free.

I have Breslin split locks. I go them from summit. I think they were like $60. They are a bolt with an allen screw inside them. You tock the bolt and them lighten the allen key. Had them for about two years, no leaks, never retightened.

hell, i bought the stage 8 locking fastners, but when i tried to put the clips on, I said **** it cause i kept dropping the damn clip, and they haven't come loose yet, so they worked well. Nice bolts though for sure! But, you could prolly clean the stockers up and use them as well...

Stock or ARP wire bolts with a turn or two of teflon pipe tape on the treads before install. At that point you dont even need the wire lock, but its just more insurance they wont back out.
