C5 Front Shock Bolts Help

I'm in a bind. My parts - tech manuals are gone (I'm moving and they were packed/shipped to my new home.). I need the front shock bolt size. My garage is a mess due to the pack out and I've misplaced the bolts. Can someone look the size up for me? 2000 C5 Coupe....

Thanks.
