1) I will see if thats an options at the track but there is no plug because it holds air just fine 2) Installed around 6-7 months ago i wanna say no more than a year ago. I read that blue thread locker is rated to only 160F, maybe track temperatures caused them to become loose? |

Apex's install guide is quite thorough and a good read (in case you haven't seen it: https://www.apexraceparts.com/media/...structions.pdf) |

The BimmerWorld ones I've been using since the stone age ask for like 75 ftlb or something, and then they use red loctite. 25ftlb seems like asking for trouble I keep thinking of posting a mini DIY for proper stud install which is quite simple with a magical tool. I'll get to it soon...

I don't know if you're ok. 25ftlb sounds so low. |

Just called Motorsports Hardware and they confirmed that 25lbs should be just fine for torque in addition to blue thread locker. They did recommend to re-torque studs when tracking and using blue thread locker though

Post it! I busted up my knuckles trying the double nut method. No doubt I applied insufficient torque. OP, great that you even noticed. Disaster avoided. It's good practice to inspect the studs every wheel change. |

I'd replace them honestly. If they are loose and you tracked them, with enough load you could have bent them ever so slightly increasing the chance of failure at the worst possible moment.

I was just informed by Bimmerworld that PFC won't be making any more PFC11s for stock calipers. They recommend the 333, but they arnt in production yet. I have ran ds1.11 and they wouldn't slow down the car very quick. So I need something better than those. I was getting 6-8 days with my brake ducts out of PFC11s and they have good stopping power.

Sport Plus in a 6-Speed car on track is a lot of fun. Blipping my downshifts under full braking is a good time. Now noticing the understeering tendencies of the stock setup as I'm progressing.
Also, found two broken studs in the paddock!

I called PFC and they said they have some in stock and doesn't show they are discontinuing them. So it sounds like I should be able to still get PFC11s 😊
