been thinking about getting one.. my car is a DD in the summer and it only see's the track about 2x a year just for fun. should i bother getting one? does it change the handle or ride at all?
and another thing adjustable or not wich is better? ive never rode in a car that has an aftermarket one...

a definate must for drag racing,i dont see it making much difference in street handling though.

It'll help plant the rear end on a hard launch, but it won't really affect daily driving. Unless your car is lowered or you decide to start racing it a lot more often, I'd just get a non-adjustable one and call it a day.

is it easy to replace a rear wheel stud.. i hade a lug nut sieze up on it when i put on the summer wheels and it totaly ****ed one stud... i heard that the axle has to be removed to do it.. is this true?

yes the rear axle has to be pulled out. i was going to put in ARP studs and tom told me the rear axles had to be removed so i said screw it for now.

The axle shaft has to be removed which is very easy!!
