Does anyone have a picture of these installed and what size bots do I need to install them. My car never came with them so I am a little in the dark here. They are from Hotchkis.
Thanks

the factory ones use the same bolts that go through the lower control arm to frame bolt and the upper control arm to frame bolt. the aftermarket braces may require you to replace your factory control arm upper bolts with longer ones? they are 1/2" x 4" bolts. so just get longer bolts acording to how mush wider the braces require. be sure to get grade 8 bolts.
