I'll start recommending them if it's proven fix to the stud problem. I'd heard the stage 8's were rather tricky to get installed.

I'd have to disagree about the stage 8s, though. They also address the stud coming out.

So even, stage 8's, Nordlocks, safety wire and what not doesn't always fix it. Someone at MRLS mentioned that FM may be switching to or optionally offering 10mm studs with their kits. The extra surface area does seem to make them stay put longer. 10m studs have been de rigueur for turbo Miatas that see a lot of track use but its trickling down to street cars slower it seems. I haven't tried green, hi temp cylindrical bonding Loctite but that might help. Another fix might be staking them, but that may raise cracking issues with cast manifolds. Jason, you don't track your car do you? That's when stuff falls off :) I've seen daily driven turbo cars that have never had an an issue on the street, not make one session at the track before a stud or two backs out. But to answer your question yes, it's endemic for turbo track miatas.
