Standard bolts barely thread on so needed the extended ones

Standard bolts should be fine on 5mm

You could get them powder coated pretty cheap. If you choose a colour say satin black most coasters will throw them in with a load.

Other than that I would just use everyday spray paint. Rough em up zinc prime and paint


I don't mind what colour really just wanted to clean them up a bit before I put them on, I'll ring around see if I can get them done that way cheers :thumbs:

You more than likely will need spaces, my FK's rubbed the inner wall of my tyre (195/45/15 also) wound all the way down without spacers. I got 5mm ones and have no issue now.


I did actually look through your thread first for info on the coilies haha, wasn't it just 5mm spacers and extended nuts?

Had a fair search through the site but haven't found anything that answers my question.

I plan to fit FK Coilovers that have been fully wound down and wondered if I needed spacers to stop rubbing as I have alloys with 195/45r15 tyres on at the moment?

Related question - Would I be able to use Halfords brake caliper paint to re-paint the rear springs?
