What blocks and bolts does everyone use on the tie bar lowering to allow clearance on the f28 box?

Or where can you get some from?

I used 30mm alloy bolts. Any where you can get a block of metal Can cut it to size.

RJ'd mounts should have come with a spacer...


You need longer bolts (obviously lol ) and in 8.8 or 10.9 (not 12.x) and DO NOT use stainless steel bolts!!!!! again DO NOT USE STAINLESS STEEL BOLTS IN SUSPENSION PARTS!!!!!

The rose jointed tie bars come with the shell when I bought it had some spacer plates but no bolts so was going to go a local company to me and see if they do similar bolts like the original but not stainless steel :d
