Standard bolts are M14x1.5 with 27mm thread (I think). If your running after market wheels then you'll need a tapered seat, but if your running OEM wheels then you'll need a radius seat.

So am I right in thinking il need 27mm+ 15mm(for spacer)= 42mm long bolts?

then same for the front?

I believe ive got oem wheel but il double check!!

How much was your car lowered in your pictures? bud

The rears are down as low as they'll go with the adjusters still in, not sure about the front. Somewhere around 50mm at a guess :wink:
