    Yeah I could buy them new but I am getting way too far into this car. If I can pick up a used set for half the price I'd be pretty pleased. That save some beer money.

    Found out my rear shock spring supports are ready to let go, so I just ordered new Bilstein Touring shocks, mounts, bump stops, spring pads. Also this weekend noticed how rusty my doors are. Will need to watch out for a cosmos black part out...

    What's the advantage of studs vs bolts? Easier to change wheels? No
    longer hub centric?

    Two biggest that I see is the ease of changing wheels and tires, then if running spacers you can see the threads to make sure your lug nuts are sufficient.

    In my case because I have BBK and my brake rotors are two peace and hubs on rotors are aluminum and they are thicker then standard brake rotor, so my OE bolts was bit short because of that,
    they been holding only on 3.5-4 coil/turns,
    and it always made me bit nervous about it, so I went with studs

    Well you can get longer bolts. But I gotta say the bolts are a pain when changing to winter wheels. Can't wait until I no longer need to do that.

    Replaced all 4 wheel sensors, that fixed the dead speedo, abs/tcs, and this may be a placebo effect but... the car feels like it accelerates much quicker and smoother. It was an instant noticeable thing. This car might already be driving me crazy

    Also:
    - Replaced shift boot from one from junkyard
    - Replaced arm rest with one from ebay for $18
    - Fixed drivers rear sunshade (little handle came off)
    - Fixed dimming rear view mirror, now dims

    Left to do for now:
    - Fix small rear door blinds
    - Troubleshoot inop fog lights
    - Troubleshoot inop aux fan
    - Replace timing chain
    - Replaced idler bushing
    - Replace brake disks and pads

    You have to be careful with longer bolts,
    on the front they are fine they can go bit dip,
    but on the rear they can mess parking brakes inside a rotor if they're too long

    I love having wheel studs. If you have your wheels off often, studs are the bees knees.

    I haven't even took my wheels off to put mine on,
    did them right on,
    took two bolts , put two studs, put two lugs, tightened them up and then did other three per wheel
