No hardware for metco lca's

[87lc2/wo2]

I went to performance suspension online and got a net set of metco lower rear aluminum control arms, but where are the new bolts and nuts? I would hate to use the stock hardware. Anyone have these lca's? What kind of hardware did you use? Hypothectically, I don't want a trial and error situation where I order a set of hardware from UMI, spohn, etc, and they don't fit.

why don't you want to use the stock hardware?

If I remember correctly, you are supposed to use the stock bolts and nuts.

They might sell the hardware seperately, like some of the control arms HR PartsNstuff is selling now. When I bought my LCAs from Paul down in Bowling Green I had to buy the bolt kit seperately for I think $16.00. Included all new bolts including the ones for the sway bar. If Metco doesn't offer a hardware kit and you really don't want to reuse the stock bolts just get them from HR PartsNstuff.

Thanks for the replies. Gonna order H&R parts hardware.

Your stock bolts are probably rusted and weakened. Take the stockers to your local bolt supplier and match them up with grade 8 bolts and ny-loc nuts. You'll have them that day with no shipping costs and you'll probably get them for less than $10.

you aint gonna find metric bolts in grade 8- but you will find the metric equivalent for only twice as much.
i say if the stock bolts and nuts are in good shape, use them.

I tried to order new hardware from H&R parts, unfortuneately their website is being upgraded. This is the route that I'll be taking.
