Help - Hardrace front droplink installation
Fitted my new eibach ARBs anf hardrace droplinks tonight, well almost
Rears have gone on a treat, however I'm having problems with the fronts, subframe came off, old ARB came off and new one went on but the droplinks are different.
The old ones are the rose jointed type but are seized on solid so cannot be re-used. The hardrace ones need bolts, but these are not included
. Anyone know what size bolts I need?
Or should I just buy new rose jointed ones

Think you will find them to be M8 bolts, about 40mm long. Use locking 'Nyloc' nuts not plain nuts on the job.
Halfords sell what you need.
The Sti front links should be steel so work great on the front.

The holes are different at each end on the hardrace links. Suppose I should get off my backside and measure the diameter. Nuts aren't a problem, I've got loads, nyloc and plain
