Touge Factory Extended Studs?

Can anyone vouch for these extended wheel studs?

http://www.tougefactory.com/shop/pro...i-evo-7-8-9-x/

Also, I am looking to run some 15mm spacers on the stock BBS wheels and swift sport spec-r's. Anyone know of any problems I might have with this setup? After all the research I am still not confident. If it seems like an ok setup does anyone know of a good deal on quality 15mm spacers? Thanks!

I haven't used the TF extended studs or heard anything about them, good or bad. That being said, it is likely that they are simply remarked ARP's or something along those lines. You can always go with the tried and true ARP 3" extended studs.

ARP's or the ones that come with the Ichiba spacers but that's about it. I'll be ordering some ARP's soon unless someone who track their car chimes in on these.

I installed these extended studs a couple of weeks ago, installation was smooth and everything seems fine. I have a track event coming up at the end of the month so we'll see how they hold up.

After running four 25 minute sessions with a 10mm spacer, the TF extended studs held up just fine.

If you're looking to an alternative to ARP studs, go with these TF studs.
