You guys serious? The reason why they break is because the studs are steel and i assume you have after market lugs nuts that are aluminum. Steel + aluminum will galvanize which means 89ft/lb will equate to something like 150 (guessing) after awhile. The anti seize is so that it isnt direct steel to aluminum contact so they dont galvanize. That way it can be easily removed. This happened to a friend and he broke probably 7 studs. He finally started to use anti seize and it fixed his issue. He tracks his car hard too with the lugs torqued to 89ft/lb and no backing out issues.
