    Adapters and hard cornering

    How safe are adapters while cornering hard? I won't be tracking with them on, but just hard cornering on the street, just wondering what the pro's have to say?

    My friend drifts and goes crazy with them. We go canyon running as well. Never an issue to date

        I have heard of two local guys who have had a stud shear on adapters.

          A stud? or all 4/5?

          I know a lot of people who use them for track/autox. But it would be recommended to buy quality ones that are hubcentric with the right grade of bolt/stud.

            You get what you pay for. Buy ebay junk, expect things to fail. Buy quality parts, there shouldn't be any issues.

            Same goes with aftermarket studs that you install in factory hubs.

              Thanks guys! Good to know. I bought draft designs, I'm sure they will hold up no problems. The things are a piece of art on their own
