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?

Purchased many things from you and have had nothing but great service. My only complaint is the mini countryman carbon fiber covers I received. They provided a glue with it that youre supposed to apply to the back, I did and now my carbon fiber covers are ruined as is the finish on my hood, I dont know what type of glue this is but it doesnt seem to make the covers stick only leak everywhere, so thats 150 out of my pocket to have this stuff buffed off my car.

Bought, received, and installed. If you own a Mini Cooper... Bookmark this website. I purchase shocks for my hatchback and installed them in minutes.... MINUTES! Before I knew it they were here. I deliver pizzas and need my hatchback and it was so quick and easy. If you love your Mini like I do, this is the "Best Resource" website you can have. Owning your Mini is for the "Rich"... Love driving your Mini.... "It is a life changing experience". It is a feeling you never felt before, hard to explain... I love my girlfriend but my Mini takes me to places physically and emotionally is the only was to describe it. Mini is a "cliche"... It hold a HUGE part of my heart that can never be replaced.
