After we talk about studs let's discuss motor oil...

I ran studs for multiple seasons with no issues. Yes I am a fast guy/instructor. Yes I installed them myself. In fact they are still on the car now and still great. I think they are in my sig over there

A year ago I installed Rennline studs on my C4S as well. Street car. 10k miles no cracks, breakage, etc

Can't comment on other peoples' experience but for me they work.

I originally went with studs as I have multiple PCCB cars so I can take my wheel off/on without the helpers pins and not risk chipping my ceramic rotors.

I want to retorque my wheels after putting 2300 miles. My 996 is just a 3.4 rear wheel drive. I just read that I might be better served to torque at 113 not 95-96pounds. Could some of you give me pros and cons and a definitive value? I got a little confused
Thanks

You arent going to hurt anything by retorque to 118 ft lbs.

As a matter of fact, as of 2012, Porsche has changed the listed the torque spec for wheels from 95 ft lbs to 118 ft lbs.

Several hundred hard track hours on a 620whp 996 over the last 5 years using studs. Zero stud failures. Only use German studs always torqued to 118ft.lb. Studs installed into hub at 32ft.lb. Lots of dubious stuff out there made to sound impressive. Choose wisely...
