Anybody know what size and grade bolt goes in the lower hole, of the front spindle to upper ball joint bracket? FFR supplies a 10.9 / M16 bolt for the upper hole and says to use the OEM strut mount bolt/nut for the lower hole. I'm missing the OEM hardware for the lower hole. I bought 8.8 / M14 hardware and now I'm second guessing myself if I should buy 10.9?

This is what I bought from Belmetric
12 x WFHV16 - Hardened Flat Washer (WFHV16) = $6.12
4 x BH16X1.5X40 - Hex bolt 10.9 (BH16X1.5X40) = $18.24
12 x NNH16X1.5 - Class 10 Nylock (NNH16X1.5) = $15.36
12 x NNH14X1.5 - Class 10 Nylock (NNH14X1.5) = $16.32
4 x BH14X1.5X60 - Hex bolt 10.9 (BH14X1.5X60) = $18.96
4 x BH16X1.5X65 - Hex bolt 10.9 (BH16X1.5X65) = $19.52

I was buying for 2 cars and the LCA mount bolts. So you may need to adjust your quantities.

Thanks Bob. I also bought 8.8 bolts for my LCA mount bolts. I'm going to return all the bolts today and get 10.9 hardware with some extra washers. I mocked up my front suspension last night to make sure all the sizes worked and I agree washers look necessary for hex bolts here. Unless I can find flanged hex bolts today. See my question in red below.

4 x BH16X1.5X40 - Hex bolt 10.9 (BH16X1.5X40) = $18.24 LCA Mounts? The largest I can fit is M14 without drilling the car mounts slightly bigger. I also have to twist an M16 bolt to barely thread it through the bushing mount. Did you modify for a bigger M16?

Looking back, I used M14 donor bolts on the LCA mount with belmetric nuts and washers. I had to significantly grind my hole to make LCA bracket fit. I also used som m14 x 60mm on the rear spindle.
