Your car didn't come with stock head studs.

Yup, you don't have headstuds stock.

I have a new pair of Y8 ARP Headstuds for sale. I torqued them down once, and decided to sell the motor. I have the paypal receipt that says they are less than a month old, still have the packaging and box. New they're 100-150 plus shipping. I'll let em go cheaper than that.

PM me if you're interested.

ok so since i dont have head studs and i have bolts do i have to replace them or can i just reuse them and i would consider your arp ones

Honestly you *could* re-use them. However, they tend to stretch. I wouldn't, especially if it's no longer a stock motor or they were torqued to yield/hard from the factory.
