Need technical Q/A then you're in the right place

Hi all,

I have these AVO Monotube "RACE" coilovers, the top mounts are all pillowball mounts, and the rear ones dont have studs in them, they take a nut and bolt instead. - I don't have the nuts and bolts... :?

Anyone able to tell me what nut/bolt spec I need for mounting these? Or (bit of a long shot) anyone able to ID the top mounts? They look different to most because they seem to have angled edges rather than rounded ones! :|

I could work it out for myself but they are in a box, in another bigger box, in the loft, behind a million other things, and I thought someone here might know before I ruin my life by going up there. :clap:

Oh and I know the front ones dont have top mounts in this pic, I have brand new GAZ billet ones for the front.

well i know the pillow ball rear top mounts i've got use an M8 stud that's pressed in.

most rear top mounts are M8.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.

Cheers, I'll start with M8 and see if that works. :)

no worries, as i said most rear top mounts use them.

i'd get both normal bolts & a couple of press in M8 studs & see which fits & works best.
