ARP Head Studs
Anybody use these? I see at least two options; a set for the 215" Buick V8 engine (124-4003), and then a part # 157-4301, specifically for the Rover 3.5L and bigger...for about twice the price.
Any opinions? I've personally always went with the studs over the bolts on aluminum motorcycle case applications...you just DON'T want to be pulling on the weak threads in the bottom end. (duh!)

When you search online, the 124-4003 kit is listed as Buick/Rover. Kit LOOKS like it has all the parts that come in the 157-4301 kit...plus some extras. 6 longs, 14 shorts...plus 8 extra shorts and 28 nuts and washers...for about 25% less.
I'm thinking maybe ARP could be sticking it to the foreign owners?

I recently installed them. Picked up a set from Summit. I hear Lucky8 has the most competitive pricing. They were back ordered at the time I needed them. Figures.

There was a thread not too long ago comparing the two sets. Run a search for it.

This is what you need.
Lucky8 Llc. - Take the road less traveled...
They are the best price I found. I installed these just over a month ago. No issues. Easy install. Has all you need. Do NOT get the more $$$$ kit.
