I for one, like bolts over studs.  On our S-Cars, you can change the rotors
out without having to remove the calipers.  If you put studs in, you loose
that clearence because the rotor get's caught on the studs.  Other than that
sounds like 6 of one and 1/2 dozen of the other.  I had studs on my Coraddo,
and they were fine, actually made getting the wheel on a bit easier, and
since you take the wheels off more than the rotors....

Just my thoughts.

I'm going to be running spacers for my winter wheels, which will require
that I buy a set of longer bolts to match.

I'm just wondering if now would be a good time to switch over to studs/nuts.
That way I could run a single set of fasteners in the front and not have to
worry about remembering which goes where...etc.

Any thoughts on this? Bolts are a bit of a PITA, but not too bad. Any other
pros/cons?

Thanks!
