They're M8x21 but you can't get them anywhere. Even the Aston parts specialists don't have them, including in England. I got M8x25mm yellow zinc-plated bolts from my local Ace hardware store and whatever the "standard" thread was worked fine. The yellow zinc has better corrosion protection and also a higher strength rating.
Got the arb installed. For anyone doing this you need (4)m8x1.25 25 mm bolts and (4)m12 x1.5 nut plus washers. Seems to have tightened up the steering quite a bit. Not nearly as much roll into turns from my limited test drive after buttoning it all up.
I also installed 11mm spacers in the front and tried to install 23mm spacers in the rear but the stock studs (with spacers installed) hit the inside of my stock wheels and prevent it from mounting.
It’s like 20mm of stock stud that needs to clear and I don’t see how it could. May just buy another set of 11mm and throw those on the rears instead because at this point I don’t see a way to make the 23mm work. Per H&R they should fit but I’m guessing with a different stock wheel?
I guess the only way to make them work is to cut the rear stock lug bolts? Not sure I even want to do that. Has anyone done it and if so was there enough thread left to run without the spacers in the rear?
Nah, I think I would have to drill out those recesses' completely to get them to clear or cut the stock studs. No real interest in either as I plan getting some aftermarket wheels or sell this ****er and don't have any interest in doing anything I can't easily reverse. In the end I returned the 23mm spacers and ordered another set of 11mm so will just have 11mm all around which should suffice for the time being.
