I know the thread is 12x1.25, but does anyone know the lenght of the factory bolts? im thinking of spacers, so i need to know what to buy.

TIA

 

Spacers usually come with the longer bolts

 

ya, I know. but what i DONT know is the factory bolt lenght.

 

why do you need the factory bolt length if you are using spacers, they either replace the stock ones with longer ones or bolt over the top of the stock ones, which in that case, they stick out ~25mm beyond the rotor

 

a lot of spacers come with bolts if not ur gonna have to get longer ones to accomidate for them but im assumin u still only need the short lug nute i just got a set from riverside rays black for 98 shipped

 

because not ALL spacers come with bolts.

 

Are they from ebay or something? All of the major respectable brands come with longer studs, H&R, eibach, Ichiba etc, why not just buy some of those ones?

 

lol.. you have "springmount modder" on your avitar, and your talking about getting a reputable brand?! kind of an oxymoron i think. anyhow, no theyre not from ebay. theyre from a friend of mine. if you dont know the factory length, thats fine. im just hoping someone does.

 

Are they hubcentric as well? Thats also an important thing to look for, OEM bore is 66.1mm, shoulda just said that from the beginning, I don't know the factory length, but mynismo sells they extended bolts in 50 and 60mm lengths, call them and ask which thickness spacers will work with them

 

Modding the springmount is a perfectly safe way to even out a drop, and tein springs a legit, so I don't really understand your reasoning

 

actually, what i should have said exactly what i DID say. "whats the factory bolt lenght?" im not looking for a round of 20 questions, just 1 question. see.. a quick game.
and the factory bore is 66.2 if you want to be specific. i appreciate your concern, but i know how to shop for spacers. ive used them before, just not on this car. hence the original question. (notice how i never asked for spacer info?) thanks again!

 

im not saying its going to kill you, but i know lots of engineers would disagree with you.

 

66.1 or 66.2, depends on where you look http://www.drivewire.com/performance...eelspacer.html but either way, a micrometer isn't going to make a signifcant difference. Call mynismo, i'm sure they can answer your question, pretty knowledgable guys

 

ya, i know it doesnt matter, i was just busting your stones. you having a bad day or something?

 

Send them my way, I can tell you the compression applied to the rubber springmount will never exceed its yield stress, so its pretty much impossible to damage them, and considering coilover systems replace the springmount altogether with a machined metal piece, the argument that there is less cushioning and its going to damage your subframe is also out. I'm an engineer as well, I took these things into consideration before doing it
