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?

These are the perfect addition to my JCW. I have a red over black JCW with the Xenon head lamps & black housings. These are the perfect way to tone down the brash bright red of the tail/brake lamp housings to match the front lamps. Not only do you eliminate the chrome but the housing itself is black thus darkening the appearance of the entire assembly. I would say these should be flying off the shelf but i don't want everyone to have a MINI that looks as good as mine.

Anthony did an amazing job getting my mini parts to me!!! He went above and beyond to get me my parts on a ridiculous timeline. Even Aaron helped out trying to make this all happen for me! OUTMOTORING is my first stop for all my mini parts from this point forward strictly based on the amount of customer service they have provided!!! For once in my life, I will be going out of my way to tell everyone about OUTMOTORING. If you need parts rest assured, you're in good hands with these guys.
