got stud?
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/9/tt_stud.jpg"></center><p>Installed these last Sunday. Been driving it around pretty aggressively and they are holding well. Hope nothing blows up this time for our Sunday AutoX
For Bay Area folks, if interested, it's in Candlestick park this Sunday. I run 3rd run group, but some friends may borrow it and run it pure SM for 4th run group. If we get fun runs, we'll be sticking around and probably driving each others cars.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1576177.phtml">link to studless post</a></li></ul>

I've got the kit from Bildon motorsports. Please see the link inside
ECS has them too. But the best price I've seen is offered by Performance Cafe (also in the link).
The ones I have for my A4 are H&R black hardened ones like what ECS sells. But they rust. These ones seem beefy and since they are coated, really easy to spin the nuts. I've put a light glue on the base to keep them from spinning out.
They have a positive feel when you torque them. It's like they seat and "click" Unlike the bolts that seem to dig or stretch something. But we'll see how these go with abuse. I'll be checking them periodically between runs until I'm confident.
Only issue is they come with 19mm (or 3/4") nuts, so you'll need a new lug wrench.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/tt/msgs/1576669.phtml">link to stud sellers</a></li></ul>
