FL question on about my oil pan....

i have a 12 im going to install an oil baffle plate, will the stock bolts be long enough? also would i was thinking about getting the banzai racing oil pan brace or just the studs... would i benefit much from the brace?
or would the studs alone be a better way to bolt down the oil baffle and oil pan?

im setting my car up for road racing thats why... just incase anyones asks

i have used the baffle from racing beat, bolts were long enough. get the baffle, its a great upgrade. if your bolts are not nong enough, you can simply buy new ones. lowes or an auto parts store will have them. lowes or home depot usually sell them for less

The stock bolts will work,although because of the reduced engagment,they can more easily be stripped on any holes that are aluminum.(rotor housings,front cover).Thankfully,it only pulls out the first couple of threads if you over-do it.
New,longer bolts are easy enough to procure. Just go easy on the RTV and dont over tighten.
