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 the rear set delete kit (with the seat belt hole option) planning on using it as a platform for my dogs instead of having the enter through the door and sit on the rear seat. After reading through the install procedures and prepping the car for install I noticed that there is only one bolt securing the delete kit. This may be ok for weight reduction but it not good for use with pets.

My Car in the Caribbean was wrecked and i was having a lot of issues getting the parts i needed from multiple suppliers. I supplied a list of what i needed to Aaron and the rest is history, i can honestly say it has been one of the best representations of customer service i have ever had and it was clear my interest was at heart every step of the way, even a difficult last minute change in shipping was facilitated without fail. All parts were perfect and i can honestly say i have no regrets! Excellent service from and amazing team!
