Scott, where did you pick those up at? Jim(BeyondloadedSE) was looking everywhere for these studs, as he purchased some custom made spacers from a guy on Ebay.. He couldn't find any lengthened studs so is going to buy the H&R package that comes with spacers and studs.. This might help if he knows where to get them..
Thanks!
Mark
I sent Jim the part numbers last October for the studs...I picked them up at a local Auto parts store for $1.69 ea.
Longer studs are needed "ONLY" if you require spacers for your wheels to clear the calipers. Some wheels will not require spacers and therefore will not require longer studs.
If you require spacers and longer studs the wheel studs you need are from 92-86 Mazda RX-7

Welcome to the world of modifications!  You're obviously either in High School and $700.00 is a year's salary, or you just gained access to the real world and found out how much car mods really do cost..

Exactly why delusional pimple faced 16 year old ricers put all their hard earned money into cosmetic modifications. At least that way they can "look" fast, even though they have added more weight (bad thing) to their already struggling 1.6 liters of VTEC fury.

Thanks Scott.. I think Jim was having a hard time locating anywhere that sold those studs, or could find that part # in their system.. I'll see if we can't find some before he orders the H&R.. His 19's won't clear the Baer's calipers..

Ok guys, I'm not into "ricey" [censored] ok, if you can prove to me how well this kit does, I'd consider into thinking its worth it, my car is plain and simple and I'm keeping it that way, matter of fact I'm thinking about upgrading my front brakes and suspension to SVT, I was just stating my opinion about the cost. jesus christ guys make a big deal out of it.
BTW, I'm 20 and out of high school.

Mystique97, think of it this way, you don't NEED a high-performance brake system, unless you are planning on racing, or auto-x'ing. When you're spending $5k in engine and tranny mods (some people less, some MUCH more) then having a high-performance braking system is vital. It's not unheard of to spend $1000 to $2000 on a front brake system alone. The price cannot be beat, and from a name that is one of the best in the industry.

Ok, thats all I needed, I'm not much into brakes and stuff like that, I dunno if I ever heard of Baer brakes, until now, but you'd think it'd come with a rear brake kit to match tho.

The problem with the development of a rear brake system is the E-Brake crap that needs to be taken into account. And for a platform that has very little support, comparatively, we're lucky they make a front kit. The product is priced very well, even at full retail. Brembo 4-Piston Front Brake kits range from $2k-$3k for just the front kit. But those kits also have 4-piston calipers and 2-piece rotors. So what you get from Baer is worth every penny. If you want to find out more about Baer Brakes you can go to their website: http://www.baer.com--Adam
