I'm still wondering if I should be looking into better quality lugs.
Something I really should have mentioned - since putting the ARP studs in, I HAVE noticed my Dewalt impact has a little more trouble breaking them free. I'm assuming it must be due to the extra contact the longer stud is making. Another reason I wish the ARP studs were maybe half an inch shorter. 80ft lbs is right on the borderline of what my impact can break.

Also, half of the time I'm taking the wheels off the car is hot after autox. Not sure if it makes a difference.
