Fast Trac Top Gun II are the best IMO but I am sure that others feel the same way about other brands.

I had 144 top gun SS studs in my Viper and they were excellent. Very light and never rusted. This was back in 2002.

I have run the Fast Trac Top Gun II and the Fast Trac polymer backers on a SX, two SRX's, a Viper, and now my Apex. Collectively tens of thousands of miles of abuse without ever breaking one stud or backer. I wouldn't even think of running anything else!

Warthog XZP studs by Accord Racing
Dale,
I have an 07 Attak (same as LTX) with Warthog XZP studs. I cant recall length (1.375 I want to say?) or quantity (162 or 168?). Got the steel studs, tall aluminum nuts and a pattern with a combination of single and double backers.
Bought from Johnmaster (guy in Milwaukee area)

Good Guy. Call him and he will tell you exactly what you need for the LTX.
These are excellent studs! I have 5600 miles on the machine and the studs were installed after about 1000 miles. They look like new, no breaks bends or pull throughs. Sizable piece of carbide. I have owned all of them - Fast Trac (have these on my wifes sled now - down to nubs at 6,000 miles) and Woodys - Warthogs are superior.
Highly recommended.
