Rear spring bolts
Sorry guys, I'm sure that this has been addressed a lot, but I can't find it. Size of the bolts to lower the rear? 94 coupe if it matters. Thanks a lot, Robert 
Never mind I found it after 2 hours of looking.

Correct on the lengths needed. 
5/8" (or 16mm in my case, virtually identical to 5/8") may be overkill but when you can get them for free, they're great! I did not have to drill out my stock washers, believe it or not. I simply reamed out my poly spring bushings to 5/8" and was good to go. With stock rubber bushings, they may go right on through, I don't know. I used high quality, new locknuts with the nylon lock. I've sent a couple of sets of these bolts to other guys here who have used them too.
