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?

Just recieved my order (NM Engeneering 22mm rear sway bar and links). I'm just shocked at how fast the shipping was. I live in Moscow, Russia and it just took a week and two days to have all I ordered laying in my trunk.
Thank you guys, I will recommend your service to all my friends/
Great job!

Purchased gloss black door handle covers for 2021 F56 Gen 3 JCW 3 door. Easy to install, fit well and look nice--except for the key lock access cover. The 1" x 3/4" cover piece supplied does not actually cover the entire opening and leaves small bits of the underlying chrome visible. This is not visible from a few feet away but is definitely not a perfect fit.
