Default Are ARP studs worth it for my application? Please give me feedback.

b16a2 with:
port flow head
je pistons
eagle connecting rods.

I want to no if there are any drawbacks to ARP studs and if I really need to use them?
I plan to run NOS someday but, only mildly. I've heard of a couple of complaints, let me know what you think.

yes very well worth the investment. Honda recommends that eveytime you take the head off of the block you shouldnt use the old OEM head bolts and you should get new ones just incase the threads on the old gets streched, you wont even be able to tell. get AEBS head studs.

Those are nice but there is nothing wrong with ARP. You cant go wrong with either.

Have used 4 sets of ARP great studs but we are going to try AEBS this time. You can drive them into the block much faster with an allen wrench on top. Every second counts when you have to reassemble quickly.
