Funny this thread should be revived today, as today I finally got around to putting my (rears) in. If you can't get the nuts any time soon, just install the rear studs. Those are the only ones you really need anyway. Then wait patiently for the front nuts. One of these days I will get around to the fronts.

Had to install fronts today since replaced front rotors and hardware. Have 5 track days coming up over the next two weekends so will need new pads all around by mid month and would like to install the rear studs then.

You can reuse the caliper bolts. Just clean bolt threads, upright threads, and torque appropriately. I know P says replace with every pad change but eff that, esp if you are prone to flip pads.

Craig, let's keep your for sale promotions to YOUR thread. Mine, as I have said already is an FYI thread on the correct parts, etc.

Just an update from my DIY of caliper studs over the weekend. Got rears only from Craig. The rear caliper bolts are perfect length, however, I want to point out that they are not as wide in diameter as the stock bolts. Threw me off a bit but I decided to proceed anyways because seat of the stud (about 1/2 inch) is the diameter of the stock bolt. This appears to be enough for caliper to seat correctly against the upright.
Also, I use 1/2 sockets for just about everything I do .. note that my 1/2 inch 15mm socket would not seat properly to tighten nut onto stud. I got out my 3/8 -15mm socket which has a thinner wall .. this socket seated perfectly on the 15mm nut.
I'm thinking the reason the stud is slightly smaller in diameter the the caliper bolt is because the nut cannot be any bigger than 15mm .. if it was, the nut would not fit in the recessed area on the caliper.

Anyone have 8 nuts part #999.076.083.01 in stock?
Getting really desperate here...ordered in October 2012 and just got the studs but no nuts. Waiting to put my car back together and these damn studs and now the missing nuts having been holding things up for months!
