Hoping for a definite answer here. I've searched a bunch, and even started a few threads, with inconclusive results.
I'm looking at the following part number: ARP 100-7715
These are intended for the Lexus IS300, and I've found several mentions here on this board of folks using them on S14 front hubs. I need the S14 knurl size, since my Attain hubs apparently use it. The "real" S14 studs are an old Corolla stud, p/n 100-7718, but they're not actually that long and they cost at least $100 for a set of 10 ($60 for 5 from Summit).
Question - has anyone using these studs had any problems? Since the knurl on the IS300 studs is actually a bit smaller (.005 inch - .563 hub size vs .558 stud size) I'm nervous. Yes, I know it's an extremely tiny difference. I'm wondering about installation issues, problems with the studs spinning/stripping the knurl on the stud (bad) or in the hub (worse).
Any help gratefully received. I'm going to be finishing my Z32 brake upgrade soon, and I'd like to do the longer studs as part of the package, while I've got the car apart.
