I originally thought the same... but the Torque was correct. I also thought maybe it was a "bad batch"... but they came with the axles... and they are Strange grade 8 studs... and they are always pretty consistent with the drag race guys.
I spoke with the drag racers(street racers) around here... and they said with the sticky ass tires i have... if it hooks in second... and im running over 750tq to the ground.. it can twist them on the street no doubt. They told me to drill them out and put some 5/8th studs in there.... or don't run such a sticky tire. I want to put the bigger studs in there... but i would have to get my rims drilled out.
Who knows..... i have some grade 9's in there as a temp fix... i'll be keeping my eye on them. A buddy of mine sheered his studs last year at the track in a 2nd gen.... destroyed his entire quarter panel. Im not trying to redue "my" quarters...lol.
