Mahle head gaskets are fine, but if you're o-ringing the head you'll want to run less wire protrusion compared to a stock head gaskets.
On the studs. I've ran Extreme studs in a few engines. Made in the USA out of USA material, ect, blah blah. Good spec material. I've had them break studs and split nuts. They were much cheaper than comparable ARP.
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
I'd be surprised if these were as good as OEM bolts.
I'll bet the machining and finish is spot on, those guys are darn good at that, but I'll bet the metallurgy is where they lack.
