stud conversion kit safety or removal?
stud conversion kit safety or removal?
Do you guys think these stud conversion kits are safe? or are they suppose to be safe? i've been getting shops that say these thing sucks and aren't safe despite losing business for them, i know that alot of shops would say this because of regulations and stuff, but is there a bigger picture that i'm not aware of?
i have a stud conversion for my car, actually only the front (it's a longer story all by itself), but my point is should i keep it (if they are safe) or remove them and just go back to bolts.
i have 15mm spacers up front to clear my stoptechs, and using studs conversion really made thing alittle easier here and there. i don't even know how to find the right bolt length for 15mm spacers + et3X wheels.
the biggest question tho:
if i was to remove these studs, with lockcite or whatever those things are called, will it cause any problems when i go back to bolts as some of the residue may still be in the hub? or are they even possible to take off without breaking something?
can someone please educate me on this, at least give me some opinion or suggestions. thanks guys!
