Are the copper coated nuts the way to go, or is using regular bolts, double bolting the way. I read something yesterday that said the copper nuts should only be used once...why?? Should I coat the studs with anything?

its worth noting that SS nuts on stock studs is pretty much a waste.
they will rust along with the stud. if you use SS nuts then SS studs would also be a must. |
