I'm using studs on my 997 GT3 and I'm truly happy with them.
I'm considering studs for my 991 GT3RS as well but just realized that they might be made of stainless steel:
Is there a risc that stainless steel and aluminium reacts in a bad way?

Thanks for the tips! Note that the stud set comes with two small packages of Loctite 243 (part number 1330255).
I received the set today. There's three things i recommend before the install:
1. Wire brush off the red lock-tight from the black studs . I did because i wasn't sure and neither was Ira how permanent or what it really was.
Use 243 blue lock-tight then you know you can remove if necessary.
2.Make sure you chase the black 12mm x 1.5 threads they were really rough .
The 85 mm st-stl threads went through the chaser like butter no resistance.
The 10mm threads were OK on both sets.
3. I would also run a 12x1.5 chaser into the alloy caliper mount before the install. You should be able to run the stud all the way in by hand without it getting caught.. carl
