I could really use a set of the ARP wheel studs. don't know if the vendors would be able to put one together, but it might be worth a shot. This is something I should have upgraded a long time ago but never got around to it. And any of us that do alot of lapping, this would be a good "piece of mind" investment.

If anyone plans on replacing rear studs, and doesn't want to have to remove the rear axles, let me know. I've typed a nice, long install guide on LS1, and can try to find it again.
Basically, you have to remove the ABS/TCS sensor from the back of the backing plate. Then you can slide the ARP stud through that hole. You do have to grind a few mm off one side of the stud head to get around the reluctor gear (not enough to compromise the structural integrity, just make a flat side). It took me about an hour to do both sides. Also, for lug nuts, I have begun using the type that are open ended, but have a threaded shaft that extends down into the wheel's lug hole. It basically gives you twice the number of threads of a normal lug nut. I got them from Jegs or Summit Racing a few years back - haven't seen them in the catalogs in a while, though. |
