Anyone find a front hub swap guide/instructions? I haven't found as much as I was hoping for.

Front hub swap is pretty straight forward. Likely find a good video on YouTube. Rears are a different story.

I assumed so as well, but haven't found anything. I did find some instructions without pictures on another forum.

Is it just the 4 bolts? I think their torque spec is something around 100 ft-lbs.

I had Trent Musser up at Sonoma Raceway swap all four of mine so can’t speak from first hand knowledge.

No need to change front hub .just install the longer studs. Waaaay easier. And cheaper.

They are on backorder nation wide for several more months. I actually ordered from 3 places that showed in stock, but all canceled the orders. Trent could not get a set for me either (my car was recently with him for suspension/alignment)

One reason I also did the rears is that the stock studs really aren't all that long. With open lug nuts you'll see that they don't even pass all the way through the nuts. If you're going with aftermarket wheels, the thickness of the center section could come into play. I personally like having the extra length on the rear studs.

I haven't test mounted the new Apex wheels yet. On the stockers, it is right around full thread engagement (a little extra thread). I'll try that out when I have my car back.

Same here. I couldn't get extended studs so I ordered new OEM R front hubs, which have extended studs from the factory. I've read that swapping the hubs is easier than swapping the studs, since you need a press for the studs.

Call Optimum Performance. They gave me a pretty good estimate of when their last batch of studs were coming in. I just kept checking their site around that window and was able to grab what I needed
