It is for good reason that virtually every top professional engine builder relies on ARP Pro Series head studs for their all-out competition powerplants. Simply stated, there’s not a better stud setup on the market today. For openers, ARP uses a premium grade 8740 alloy that is rated far superior to “aircraft” quality. Each stud is placed vertically in special racks and precisely heat-treated to 200,000 psi. This procedure ensures complete heat penetration and the results are far superior to those lesser quality studs from other manufacturers who just dump pieces in a basket and hope for the best. Following heat-treat, each stud is centerless ground to make it as close to perfectly concentric as possible. This procedure involves about ten very slight cuts and results in an exceptionally straight part. It’s important to note that lesser quality studs are not even centerless ground – the material is thread rolled in bar stock form (mostly before heat-treat, when the material is easier to machine). Because ARP studs are manufactured to such exacting tolerances, you will note that gaskets and cylinder heads literally glide into position and are perfectly aligned – something that won’t happen with inferior quality head studs. ARP studs are thread rolled after heat-treat, which gives them about 1000% (that’s ten times) better fatigue strength than those studs that are threaded prior to heat-treat (a very common industry practice). It costs a lot more to do it this way, because it’s tough on tooling, but the results are well worth the extra effort. You will also note that ARP offers specially undercut studs for several engines. This procedure (done only to the shorter studs) more equalizes the “stretch” of both studs, which makes for a more consistent clamping force – and one that compensates for head gasket compression when the cylinder heads are installed. This helps prevent blown head gaskets, and assures optimum engine sealing! Premium quality heat-treated 8740 chrome moly steel head stud kits are available for most every domestic and import applications. You won’t find a better quality stud on the market from any other source. Look for ARP stamped on each stud as your assurance of quality. Clearly, ARP Head Stud/Bolt Kits are the best on the market today, and the favorite of leading professional engine builders in all forms of racing. *HIGH PERFORMANCE SERIES* High Performance head bolts are available with a reduced wrenching hex or 12-point and wide area flanged head that eliminates the need for valve train removal to facilitate cylinder head retorquing. All High Performance Series bolts are 180,000 psi (which is 15% stronger than Grade 8) and kits come complete with hardened parallel-ground washers. *PRO SERIES* All Pro Series bolts are cold-forged to ensure molecular integrity, heat-treated prior to thread rolling and machining, and are rated nominally at 200,000 psi. ARP Pro Series head bolt kits are application specific – designed for use with typically competition only components. These fasteners deliver superior strength and meet the ARP “ZERO defect – ZERO failure” quality standard. Hardened and parallel-ground washers are included with each kit to ensure even load distribution and accurate torque readings. All Pro Series head bolts have a reduced wrenching hex or 12-point head and wide area flange to eliminate the need for valve train removal for cylinder head retorquing and permits the use of larger diameter valve springs. Most applications have undercut short bolts that can help eliminate head gasket failures through providing more “stretch” to compensate for the additional compression of gaskets. *Head Studs vs Bolts* On many street-driven vehicles, where master cylinders and other items protrude into the engine compartment, it’s probably necessary to use head bolts so that the cylinder heads can be removed with the engine in the car. For most applications, however, studs are recommended. And for good reason. Using studs will make it much easier to assemble an engine (especially a racing powerplant which must be serviced frequently and quickly!) with the cylinder head and gasket assured of proper alignment. Studs also provide more accurate and consistent torque loading. Here’s why. When you use bolts to secure the head, the fastener is actually being “twisted” while it’s being torqued to the proper reading. Accordingly, the bolt is reacting to two different forces simultaneously. A stud should be installed in a “relaxed” mode – never crank it in tightly using a jammed nut. If everything is right, the stud should be installed finger tight. Then, when applying torque to the nut, the stud will stretch only on the vertical axis. Remember, an undercut shorter stud will have a rate similar to a longer, standard shank stud. This provides a more even clamping force on the head. Because the head gasket will compress upon initial torquing, make sure studs and bolts are re-torqued after the engine has been run.
Let customers speak for us
from 211 reviewsI can't say enough about silvers and brian. I recently got into an accident that broke one of my coilovers. Brian immediately reached out to his people and got me a single coilover. You can't go wrong with silvers or brian.
I am well pleased in choosing brian and crew for my coilovers. They have been very helpful and got me my order right away.
worked perfect. Install was a breeze! everything was great! Except for the waiting period due to transitioning. maybe next order will be super quick. Thanks Brian for keeping in touch.👍🏼
These are by far a major upgrade over stock the oem rubber mounts couldn't take the abuse and shredded leaking luid all over the engine bay and leaving my engine flopping the amt mounts are a mix of metal on the outside and inside and a hard rubber "bushing" in the middle giving you the best of both worlds and making it durable and everything tighter very easy to install and torque down looks better and definitely feels better very minimal increase in noise and vibration but not enough to really notice or effect everyday driving a must have for higher horsepower applications or if you just beat the **** out of it.
This is a high quality 3D printed guage mount that is installed and replaces the driver's left side heat vent to mount your gauge to and it will still blow air through it without any issues as it's vented on the top and bottom it installs very easy and fast and will fit multiple different gauges and is very sturdy and strong if you have a AEM guage this is not the correct mount they make a specific mount for the AEM gauges.
This bracket is for the c6 corvettes with the Z51 package only not the Z06 they have different coolers and therefore different brackets with that being said this bracket works fantastic definitely when using it with the A&A supercharger kit and don't want to delete your oil cooler like me and so this allows you to move your cooler to a different location and out of the way and still be able to use it with the supercharger.
I upgraded to the four piston Wilwood calipers on the front and rear of my C5 Z06 and boy what a huge difference!!! Not only did they change the way that the car brakes, they look so much better than stock. Couldn't ask for better customer service than Brian!!! One word of advice though....make sure that your offset will clear these calipers!!!

These are a great upgrade for the rear suspension!! Love the adjustability and the look of them much better than stock. Brian always gives excellent customer service and the parts ship out very fast.
I spoke with Brian about my setup and he gave me his recommendation on which Silvers to go with and he was spot on!! It is a night and day difference from the stock suspension and I couldn't be happier!!!
I couldn't be happier with the mcleod twin disk clutch setup it shipped and arrived very fast everything was packaged very nicely and secured it came with very detailed instructions on how to install everything properly also comes from the factory already pre-fitted with ARP hardware so that's definitely a plus! Excellent company Brain is a great guy and super knowledgeable will always help with anything!
This is a very well done piece with very nice hardware. Install was easy thanks to easy to follow instructions.
Use Oil extreme Four engine longevity. Nothing else like it, get it.
Got in contact with Brian and he help me spec out my silvers neomax coilovers and gave a recommendation for Baer front tie rod ends and rear toe arms as well as aFe sway bar endlinks. Install is easy and straightforward, it may take a while for the first time but it’s hard to mess up as long as you follow the instructions. Car feels brand new now, it’s a night and day difference and yet the car still desperately needs an alignment. The bumps that used to make the whole car float and sway side to side are much less noticeable. I still haven’t touched the dampening which is set in the middle on all 4 corners, and while it’s a little on the stiff side I like the ride much more. The car doesn’t wheel hop over bumps or float anymore, way less body roll, hooks and pulls better, and looks way better after dropping it around 2.5 inches from stock height. Everyone with a c5 on stock suspension should definitely consider these silvers.
Looks good. Hopefully I can get it installed correctly. Should stiffen up the diff alot
