You need a 19mm socket for the bottom bolt, then a 13mm one for the top ones, and it depends on what shocks you have as far as what size you need for the gland nut.
Oh, and they won't help making it stiffer, they will only help it bounce less.
isn't that the same thing? But thanks that helps

I did just that - wasted 7 dollars on shipping. such a ripoff. Oh well, I'm replacing all that stuff anyways, so might as well do it now.

if they come with the new rotors than by all means, install the freakin screws, but don't waste money on 4 new screws plus shipping.

I disagree.
I'm also really sad that I'm going to miss this.
That is all.

Originally posted by thereisnoyun View Postinstalling front shocks requires some experience, cause the holding nut can often rust on to the old strut housing, I would use a 24 inch pipe wrench, or at least have in the past, to break if off, after pbblaster and heat to flow the pbblaster intothe threads.
fronts are a pain
