Roger Clark also keeps them, but advised me against using them if possible, because of the increased strain on other parts due to the extra forces involved

I have no choice but to fit them as I'm not getting enough thread through the wheel nuts. I think the minimum is the dia of the tread, ie a 12mm stud thread would need 12mm of nut screwing on but I'm just under this. The back's are just within but since fitting the Godspeed brakes the fronts are looking a bit dodgy.

I had the car serviced at HDC subaru and thay agreed the fronts were on the limit.
