I'm with Warren on this one. I'm in the process of replacing only the lower 12 studs with steel studs. I see no logical reason whatsoever to replace the top ones. The only top stud I have ever known of breaking was on a 930 with all 24 dilivar studs.
I have never been one to replace something for no logical reason, must be the mechanical engineer coming out.

My car has one broken lower stud on the #5 cylinder. It has been a California car all it's life, first in the Ventura area and then in north orange county for the past 15 years.
