I found a new bolt with nut in my parts stash if you still need them. Pay for the flat rate shipping box and it’s yours.

What did you end up using and was it ARP for reference? I am going to be replacing my coilovers soon and want to know if there are any bolt upgrades. The metal is getting old on some of these and I don't want failures.
Thanks

There is no ARP bolt for that size so I end up with buying those heavy duty exactly the same size bolt from the bolts shop

I am replacing my shocks and lower mount bolts. But bolts are hard to get.
What is the total length of this m16 bolt? And the length on the bolts area with no threads?
Anyone know what was the steel spec on the OEM bolts was.. 8.8 or 10.9 maybe ?

Correct size is M16 x 100. I bought a pair of 10.9 hardened steel. A good advice when sourcing these bolts is to contact a tractor repair shop. They have in stock or can get bolts in most sizes. And they often use 10.9 hardened steel.
