Good info, I wasnt aware of this. Does the GTI-R motor use the same head studs as all other sr20's?

good stuff man thanks. I was actually going to buy studs and a head gasket from that sight you linked. Have you delt with them before? Are they any good?

So the moral of the story here is that arp still has not corrected the issue with their studs not bottoming out in our SR20's block? I thought they fixed this issue with the ARP2000 line. This is a bummer too cause arp is a great reputable company that's been around forever I had always said whnever I build my motor I was going with arp head studs and a cometic head gasket but now I'm a bit skeptical oh well back to the drawing board

What exactly did they 'fix' with these studs other than making them out of arp2000?

So basically, avoid ARP altogether in order to avoid any confusion or problems. Simple.

ARP main studs are fine, though.

Rumors CONFIRMED. Just got a new set(Boxed 1-16-2012) of the 102-4701 studs and they DO say 'ARP 2000' on the stud..here's a picture I took for proof. The studs are also spec'd to 90 ft/lbs of torque with the new 'ultra torque' lube:

VW studs were used *before* ARP made an 'official' SR20 stud. The VW studs are NO longer than the 102-4701 under-cut kit.
