Use ARP much better quality than Moroso! Drilling rear spindles SUCKS! really hard material on spindles. Here is a link: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

The quality of the Moroso studs is just fine. Drilling the hubs sucks, it's made much easier with the Norval-o-Matic jig. Too bad only a handful of them exist.

After yanking some 3" x 7/16" studs out of a stub axle, I had 3" x 1/2" studs installed by Guldstrand when I ordered a set of trick stubs from him years ago, so I didn't have to go thru drilling... My only regret is that I didn't have the foresight to have gotten the ones with dogs on the ends. If you get full length threads, suggest you get long nuts with recessed threads.
