Ok, let's make sure I have this straight. ARP sucks because your using universal studs/nuts that you can't get access to because Hyundai spaced the holes too closely together and ARP's strengthened(probably a bit oversized) pieces won't allow you room to work? Now that is completely ARP's fault and that is why they suck?

LMAO! Just messing with you. Good luck with that and let everyone know how you get to them finally.

You know, you're no longer a noob, so there's no excuse for you to not check and read through the stickies. I already mentioned the ARP head bolt problem, and the easy correction for it.
