Raymond,
Since I was one of the ones who recommended these (and use them), I'll give
you my reasons:
1. Readily available from several sources at a reasonable price. Most Speed
shops carry them.
2. Easily obtainable lug nuts (see sources, above)
3. You don't have to drill/machine the hubs to accept them. The "usual"
upgrade is to use 1/2" studs, (since the stockers are 7/16") but those
require re-drilling the hub, since the knurl is much larger. The ARP
100-7708 studs are a thousand or so smaller dia. than the stock TR parts. I
also used some Locktite as "insurance", and have had no problems with them.
4. They are longer than the stock studs and are of a high-quality.
