If you're diving into some serious engine work on your Honda Fit from 2009 to 2013, you might want to check out this ARP Head Stud Kit. It’s not just another set of fasteners; these are built for folks who know that strength matters. You get 8740 chromoly studs, which means they can handle some serious stress without snapping like a twig. Plus, they come with a black oxide finish, so they look good while resisting corrosion—always a bonus in the long run.
Now, let’s talk specifics. The thread size is 9mm x 1.25, and since these are stud-style fasteners, you know they’re going to provide a solid grip. No undercut here, just straight-up durability. And yes, washers are included—flat ones, to be exact—so you won’t be scrambling to find the right ones when you’re in the middle of your build.
This kit is designed specifically for the Honda Fit's 1.5L L15 SOHC 4-cylinder engine, ensuring a perfect fit without any guesswork. You won’t have to worry about cutting or modifying anything; it’s ready to go right out of the box. Just install, torque it down, and you’re all set to push your engine to its limits.
In short, if you’re looking to beef up your head studs for better reliability and performance, this ARP kit is a solid choice. It’s made for those who take their builds seriously and want to ensure everything stays tight and right.

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless.
Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.
What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes.
ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.
ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
