| The head are basicly the same as audi fives. Autohausaz sells them but they require tripple square bits. |

| Thanks, but that doesn't quite answer my question: Will the ones on the site I linked to work? |

| Those are exactly like the ones autohausaz sales and they are currently on my car. Go the your local auto parts store and get some tripple square bits. |

Or you can get a complete set of the OEM bolts from me for $34.

Not sure where you read that they're NLA, but that is not accurate.

You said so yourself right here:

I have three sets of used head bolts if you're interested; however, they are designed as stretch bolts and not recommended for re-use. The other options are the ARP head studs or Raceware. Not sure who's carrying Raceware these days, but the ARPs are less expensive and easier to install due to the hex head.
{EDIT}
Min, thanks for the plug  |

Yeah, that was back in 2010. I didn't have access to the wholesaler I am now using for most of the OEM replacement parts, nor did I have direct access to order stuff from Germany.
I can now get the Bilstein OEM replacement head bolts, so no worries.

Totally worth it for the ARP head bolts.
