Exclamation wheel studs!?

Alright guys I'm breaking off wheel studs like there's no tomorrow!! I've replaced them w/ oem nissan ones and napa ones and they keep on breaking. I know i dont have that much power to the wheels (I WISH!!) so what else can it be. I thought me having such bad camber might affect it so i raised the car up some and they still broke! Now i've tried finding some harden'd ones but arp doent offer any and a company called dormans discontinued the ones to fit my car! My only other option is nismo but i dont really want to spend $65 on wheels studs if there is another problem that i dont know about

When I worked at a shop I learned that the wheel studs usually brake from overtightening them. I would find out the torque specs and torque your wheels down with a torque wrench. The probably won't brake off after that...

Are you using hub centric wheels? Are you using changing wheels at a truck stop, and using their BFGun? I got my Nismo's for $57+sh per end. Remember that your S14 has different lug knurls in the front vs the back.

well i tried matching up the specs on some arp studs and nothing would work, as for overtighning i guess that might it but i have never had that problem with any other cars i've had. But hey, i'll try anything right now!

The ARP studs that you're looking for are for something like 95 firebird/camaro. They work great on S13 and S14 rear. They don't work so hot on S14 front because the stock front knurl is slightly larger than normal, and the ARPs tend to slip over time. Also, they'll have a 12x1.5mm thread instead of the stock 12x1.25mm threads, so you'll have to buy some Honda style lug nuts.
