ARP Head Stud Kit for Mini Cooper S 2001-2006, 8740 Chromoly, 12-Point, Black Oxide
$141.45

Alright, let’s talk about the ARP Head Stud Kit for your Mini Cooper S, specifically for models from 2001 to 2006. If you're looking to boost the reliability of your engine while cranking up the power, this is a solid choice.

  • Fastener Style: These are stud-type fasteners, which means they provide a more secure hold compared to bolts. You won’t have to worry about them loosening up under pressure.
  • Material: Made from 8740 chromoly, these studs are tough as nails. This material is known for its strength and durability, making it perfect for high-performance applications.
  • Finish: The black oxide finish not only looks sleek but also helps resist corrosion, which is a big deal if you’re driving in less-than-ideal weather.
  • Head Style: The 12-point head design allows for better torque application, so you can really crank down those nuts and bolts without stripping them.
  • Washers: Yep, washers are included in the kit. This little detail can make a difference in ensuring a tight seal.
  • Cut to Fit: No cutting required here. These are designed to fit your Mini Cooper S just right.

When it comes to fitment, these studs are specifically designed for the Mini Cooper S models from 2001 to 2006. They’re a game changer if you’re planning on pushing more power through your engine. Just keep in mind, if you’ve got a 2002-2008 Mini Cooper, you’ll want to double-check compatibility, especially if you’re running some mods.

So, whether you're hitting the track or just want a bit more confidence in your daily driver, this ARP Head Stud Kit is a no-brainer. Trust me, your engine will thank you.

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.
