Gen6 SS 1LE caliper studs
For those tracking the 1LE has anyone found Caliper Studs like the ones made for the GT350. As you know holding the front calipers in place and trying the align things for the bolt can be a pain in the butt - especially on a hot day. I have watched the GT350 guys and the studs make the job much easier. If you know who is selling an "ARP" type quality Caliper Stud please share - thanks.

Why do you need this on the 1LE? If it's for brake pad changes, the calipers do not need to come off.

Need to remove the Caliper to swap rotors - car is mostly tracked but have track pads and OEM pads, and match the rotors to pads. But your right about swapping pads as they made that easy.

I can see this making things easier if you have radially mounted calipers like the GT350, but for the SS 1LE having laterally mounted calipers you'd have to slide the rotor and caliper on at the same time, meaning you're now needing to align the rotor with the wheel studs and caliper studs with the knuckle simultaneously. To me, that sounds more difficult than just holding the caliper over the rotor to align the caliper bolt...
