What are the sizes of the lower and upper control arm bolts. I know the nuts and bolt head are 18mm, but what about length and diameter???????
The reason I am asking is that I DESTROYED my old nuts and bolts during the swap! I am aware I do need hardened grade 8(standard) or 10.5(metric) fasteners.

Any help would be appreciated
Thank you,
FreeGT

i believe the uppers are 12x80x1.75 and the lowers are 12x100x1.75 i just bought some last week but i cant find the receipt. lol make sure you replace the nuts with some self locking ones, like nylocks or steel locks.
