poorboy,
what wheels and torque are you applying?
also, what STYLE are your lugnuts? maybe they aren't seating against the wheel properly?
are you using any grease or assembly lube on them so the threads don't rip out?
i drove around for 8 months on 2 lug nutson each of my front wheels, no problems.
also, i don't reccomend doing the ARP's, they strip out VERY easily, even on s13 and s14 rear..
we sell PEAK PERFORMANCE studs at enjuku racing that have PERFECT knurls, i have never been happier with a longstud solution for the cars. and they are very strong..
www.enjukuracing.com , it's goodenough for our twin drift cars, give it a try.
