    What's up guys, I'm installing my 2.5 coilovers a but I'm convinced my coilovers didn't come with the right bolts. I'm only concerned with the top shock hat installation at this point. If someone could validate the length, size and quantity of the hardware for this I would appreciate it. I'm not mechanically gifted so try and make it as laymen as possible thanks again. I'll post pictures and descriptions of what came in my shipment when I get back to the garage.

    Thanks in advance guys and gals

    Can't say for sure what they are supposed to be but my 2.5" IFP non-reservoir top hat bolts appear to be 10mm-1.25 5T class JIS. My belief is because a 14mm wrench fits them best and the spec is 24 ft-lb torque. I'd have to take one out to check length.

    Why are you questioning? They should thread in by hand with the shock on the bench and be maybe 1/2" to an inch longer than the top hat is thick. Long enough that with washers and the coil bucket thickness they'd engage all the threads without being proud of the bottom. If that's not true then they are wrong.
