This is a review of the M12 stud conversion kit for the R53 MINI Cooper S. This is the second stud kit that I have installed. The first set was of much lessor quality and was totally worn out within six years of auto-x, track days and winter tire change-over.
These new studs appear to be far superior and slightly longer. I also like the unthreaded portion that allows lining up the nut to help prevent cross threading.
I do have one question; Do you recommend any using any lubrication on the threads of the studs?

Ordered a quicksilver exhaust for my 2007 mini Cooper S and then found it on the competitors website for cheaper. I called and spoke with Aaron and he matched the price. I was very happy . I’ve ordered a few other parts and they have always come in a timely manner. All I would have to do is email Aaron and he would give me the tracking number right away.
Great service!

Installed the R52 Mini Cooper hitch today. Instructions were well done. Only took 2 hours. Very pleased with ease of installation and its performance.
