Tough time finding bolts? especially the 12.9 grade?
I've been searching everywhere to that special 12.9 bolts for my front custom RCA. I've finally found the place that sells all kinds of bolts and doesn't have to be bought in the 10's of thousands.

All I need to know is how long of a bolt I need for the M12x1.25 bolt at 12.9 grade. Anyone? Save me from jacking up the car. the offset is +3/4 inches.

one thing for sure is..it's very expensive. about 7 bux a bolt... I don't even know bout the shipping cost. I said just send it. Been waiting too long can't wait. LOL.
I ended up getting 60mm I guess it'll stick out.

Only one bolt will stick out through the knuckle. The other bolt has its limitation on how far you can bolt it in. Add washers though.
$7/bolt is a lot of money. I bought mine for maybe $1/bolt. Then again, who knows they might be sending you some ARP bolts

LOL... no problem. I did ask EXACT and GSteg... so they are on the hook too 
ARP bolts? hmmm.... I wonder if I can cut it. I may just use washers though...
AHHH ARP (Automotive Racing Product)... the sales lady said "wow! these must be some rare bolts! they are expensive"
After all this, I may ditch it and get the EXACT version. It depends on how much of a drop I want.

Hmm...I can maybe add the washer to give me close to 1 inch...but then again, I loose the flange like support. I doubt mine will come with a flange..it's hex.
Oh...I'm not sure I'm going to replace with this new lower ball joint. I don't think the ones currently on my gs is exposed like this one. BTW, haven't done it before but the is my prejudgement of the system.
