Control Arm Bolt Question.

[longislandwrx]

The manual doesn't indicate very well the part numbers for the bolts needed.

I'm mounting up my front upper and lower control arms, Seems like everyone used used bolts for the rear lower bushing bolts and provided their own nuts?

For the top, I think we are supposed to use new m14 bolts provided, but I don't see any M14 nuts listed in the parts sheet.

Can someone please clarify? I have no issue running over to ACE but I don't want to drop $200 on hardware that ends up being in the bag.

I also didn't see any spacers listed for those doing R height.

Thanks!

upper bolts are 1/2 std... yes you provide the nuts for the rear lower bushings, you can steal them from other places... but may run out.

buy washers for the R spacers

Hmmmmm- I don't like mixing standard and metric bolt sizes. It's a pain in the Arse when fixing stuff at the race track.
I bought a metric flange bolt/nut kit from Ebay-

They offer Fine thread also.

I'm going to load up on flange bolts at ace today. Chad, you will need a bunch of M14s as well, I'd scoop some of those up while you are at it.

Thanks Dan!

What lengths do you think? 20mm -40mm? Also, will the "R" spacer need to be 1" right? I'm not going to stack washers, that would look cheesy.

[longislandwrx]

Agreed, I will measure when I get home, it's definitely less than an inch.

I'd say 20 to 40 is a good start, if you don't plan on using old stuff you may need some longer ones.

Most of the bolts supplied by Factory Five are std thread, look over your BOM...

I made up spacers for several areas and powder coated them black
