I do the same up front. Are you using the extended studs in the rear?

Yes. Figured just in case I needed the length for some reason. ��

Not really on the camaro platform but automotive in general, ive replaced thousands of wheel studs and the stock replacement is usually enough. If you get different temper metals then it's going to change how your torque spec is applying pressure. Most all bolts will have a life expectancy when it comes to loosening and tightening. Comparing your car that you swap wheels every time you get ready to race and get finished racing vs your daily driver that the wheels come off only when services are needed. Your racecar is going to go through studs faster and it's going to be "within limits".

So i would suggest just stock replacements and factor it in your budgeting and service schedule. Or just keep some on hand.

This is fair. The issue I have is that the effort to replace the rear studs is non-trivial, and not something I want to do trackside. If there are better parts that'll be less likely to fail, I'm in.

Thanks,
