Lugnuts/bolts, bushings, and pre-mixing
Three questions as I rapidly need to get my post count up to be able to use the classifieds.
The factory setup for each wheel is using studs and lugnuts, however is it ever recommended to use lug bolts instead? I recently snapped some studs and am deciding which route to go.
Bushings; I understand it is not good to use poly bushings in the suspension on these cars, as it causes binding, however are there any highly recommended areas to use such bushings?
Pre-mixing; I currently premix my fuel using 1 quart of oil for ever FULL tank of gas. Is this too much, not enough? My oil pump failed and has been removed, hence the need to pre-mix.

Ok..the wheel nuts have a torque spec.So if you are snapping studs,you are over tightening them.
Studs can be bought at any parts store and the wheel nuts(12x1.5mm) .
I use a splined nut so that the wheel needs that tool to be removed(Thieves).
Some Bushings can bind up if you are adjusting camber using Individual and single rod type adjusters.They are not as forgiving as the sock bushings.
Check MMR and such,do some comparisons.
Premix..one ounce to one gallon of gas is plenty.
