Do not cut the studs you have, you'll just weaken them.

This car is mostly just for pleasure, I do track it a few times an year
So cutting the studs do indeed weaken them even though they're extended eh..

I had my fenders rolled, and I'm planning on returning the car back to stock height once my new coilovers arrive
The wheels should sit parallel to the fenders with a -2 to -2.5 degree camber (according to a few forum members whom I asked)

Anyways, lever principle, 20mm spacers without integrated studs seem like a bit too much on the studs
If I am getting spacers without integrated studs, I'll get 15mm max

Right now I'm just researching if cutting up the studs will weaken their support, and so far I'm getting mixed answers
