Ugggg

Ordered more ARP studs too...


Your torque wrench is off or something.


I've *never* broken an ARP stud, even on the race car pulling in after 1.5 hours, yanking the lugs off with a impact, replacing wheels/tires, and impacting them back on and then checking torque to 95ft/lbs. All while they are hundreds of degrees in temp.


I've had them on the BRZ for awhile also with a lot of wheel swaps and no issues at all. I torque the BRZ to 90ft/lbs and I never use anti-seize.
