Do BMW people not use ARP headstuds, being re-useable and it seems like it would be better to get those and replace all of them. But then again I dig the whole drive it to the ground idea as well.
I would not suggest ARP Headstuds. Not worth the money and headache of having to re-torque/get it right bs.
OEM and done. Been there/donethat.
BTW now my car is diffuser-less because Matt can't make it out this week. Great.............
Yeah the OEM ones are $15/set, I don't think ARP is worth it unless you're building a turbo motor or something.
My bad DJ, you can have it back for the weekend if you want. :wink:
