So, what’s the deal with these studs? Well, they come in a 12-point head style, which means you’ll have an easier time getting a good grip when you’re tightening things down. No more fumbling around with standard bolts that just don’t cut it when you’re cranking up the power. And let’s not forget about the ARP2000 material—this stuff is tough. It’s designed to handle the stress of high-performance applications, so you can push your engine without worrying about the integrity of your fasteners.

Another thing I appreciate is the black oxide finish. Not only does it look slick, but it also provides some added corrosion resistance. You want your engine components to look good and last, right? Plus, this kit includes washers, which is a nice touch. You won’t have to hunt down extra parts when you’re in the middle of your build.

Now, if you're wondering if this kit fits your ride, here's the scoop: it's compatible with a range of models, including the Audi 80 from '88, the Audi TT MK1 from 2000-2006 (both the standard and Quattro versions), and several VW models like the Beetle (1999-2005), Golf MK4 (2000-2004), Golf MK5 (2005-2006), Jetta (2000-2005), and Passat (1998-2005). So, chances are, if you’ve got one of these cars, you’re in luck.

One thing to keep in mind is that these studs are not cut to fit, so make sure you’re ready to install them as they come. Overall, if you're looking to beef up your engine's reliability and performance, this head stud kit is a solid investment. You’ll appreciate the difference it makes when you’re out on the road or tearing up the track.

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

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.
