Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? Because, race car. Wheel studs are required by many racing bodies because they are a safer way to ensure proper wheel-to-hub contact. Wheel studs allow the use of different length spacers. Lug bolts require custom lengths per spacer application. Installing wheels using wheel studs is much easier than using wheel bolts, as the studs will locate the wheel while the nuts secure the wheel. Wheel studs stay in the hub. The constant installation and removal of wheel bolts can cause accelerated wear on the bolt holes in the hubs.

Almost every dealership will offer you a ‘protective coating’ that prevents dirt, grime, and water spots from marring your paint while creating a hard shell to protect it from chips or other damage.

Now, thanks to Sonax, you have the ceramic power in your hands with this professional-grade ceramic protection kit for your car! Finish off your wash with the best protection possible from Sonax.

Why use wheel studs instead of wheel bolts? When removing and installing wheels that utilize the factory wheel bolts the process can be frustrating, holding the wheel up with your legs, lining up the holes, and threading the bolts all at the same time. Wheel studs also allow the use of varying length wheel spacers - a highly convenient feature for those that anticipate using different spacer size setups in the future. Both conical and ball seat lug nuts are available for a maximum of 10mm, 20mm, or 30mm wheel spacer use.

ECS has developed a range of excellent solutions to sloppy, imprecise shift action and clutch feel for your VW.

ECS Tuning Exact-Fit Clutch Hoses are engineered and assembled with braided stainless steel mesh, offering superior expansion resistance and reinforcement. The resistance to expansion creates a firmer, more direct pedal feel.
