broken wheel studs
 
Is anyone else breaking studs on these cars? I've now broken 2 on the front drivers corner of the car. I don't use impact tools, and I use a torque wrench to 85 ftlbs. I've had studs break before, but not after 1500 miles and 4 track days on street tires.

What are the currently available replacement options?

My understanding is that you can use any of the longer ARP studs designed for the WRX and STi. I have been thinking about making the upgrade along with adding a spacer to the rear for my square wheel setup.

I assume you have aftermarket wheels...are your wheels just held by the studs or are they also supported by the hub?

ARP's in stock and have NICE aluminum long open top lug nuts too!
