Default Which rear bolts to use???

So I decided to remove the front bolts to get this car on the ground. I saw one in person this weekend and it looked amazing. What bolts are you guys buying for the rears? I'm on 19s in the rear and hope I can still get about 3/4 of an inch.

you will need:

-grade 8 bolts
-7 inches long
-1/2 inch wide

You will also need 4 washers , 1 for the top, 1 for the bottom , of each bolt, as well as two nuts

Wow. Thanks man. This is all I need for the rear drop?
Is it easier doing it on a lift?

yep that's all u need for the rear drop

Its much easier on a lift, but it can be done without one as well.

The fronts are a little harder, id recommend removing the bolts completely.

Be prepared though the ride is extremely harsh over bumps.

You don't need a lift. It takes about 15 minutes a side out back.

I did it last weekend...Lowe's didn't have the bolts so I had to go to a local bolt store. The ride isn't so bad, I'm more afraid of bottoming out. Here is a pic of mine. By the way, apparently you need to remove the bump stops off of the shocks, mine were already gone.
