Rotor upgrade, broke a stud.

Was tighting my nuts before a 100 mile trip and one stud broke.

Not having much faith in the others, so I assume they'll break also eventually.

So where online could I order better rotors than stock ?

Bang the broken stud out and pull the new stud in with a lugnut. Very simple.

I run ARP 2 1/2" wheelstuds, 12mm x 1.5. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...P%2D100%2D7708

Front rotors are Powerslot.
Lugnuts are Kyokugen lightweight 7 sided lugs- 1.5mm pitch.
front pads are Stillen carbon matrix.
Earls braided lines and solo-bleeds.

Note: rear rotors are Stillen drilled, Rear pads are EBC reds. And a 1LE prop valve. Car stops on a dime, better than a stock 1LE setup.

how tight were you making them? were you using a TQ wrench or bouncing your weight on a 3' cheaterbar to tighten them? lol


to remove the old ones, tap them out the back with a hammer ( a press is better if you have access to one).. put the new one there and give it a LIGHT tap... then tighten it in with the lugnut.
