Question about extended Studs TF or Ichiba
Hey Evom, I just got some 10mm spacers I am going to be running. I know that anything over a 5mm really you will need extended studs to get 5-6 good turns to be safe. So my friend just got brand new Touge Factory Extended lugs that is isn't gonna use any more so he gave them to me. So my question here is
Should I use the extended bolts that came with the ichiba v1 or should I use the TF studs. Anyone ever use TF studs before for track or dd. Thanks

Nothing against the TF ones, but I would suggest ARP if you can afford it, especially if you are going to be tracking them.
The TF bolts I saw say they are grade 10.9, which typically has a minimum Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS) of 150000 PSI or so. The ARP ones are rated at 200000 PSI minimum. Do you really need the extra strength? Probably won't know until you do. The ARP ones also have a bullet nose which helps prevent cross threading nuts.
I have been tracking the ARP ones for 3 years now. The Engineers at ARP know their stuff. I have worked with them through work before and they are good.
