I thought you meant something different there.

You say that it needs to 'deal with a 1000kg car' but remember there are four corners - so that would equate to...? I know where you're coming from and I'd use the correct size of bolts wherever possible. But it doesn't change the fact that you could change that M12 to an M10 perfectly safely.

heres a chart

http://www.k-tbolt.com/bolt_chart.html

notice how grade 8s have the multiple splines in the heads, most bolts that are bolted to suspension, stub axles etc are bolts of this nature and bear these markings

im talking about tensile strengths not size.

250kgs on a direct lift is nothing when the pressure it is having to deal with is on a 1000+kgs car, not to mention angles can multiply that pressure and force again.

load bearing bolts, like these and bush bolts etc and normally a higher tensile strength then other bolts, for obvious reasons

fuck just sticking any old m10 in a load bearing parts like that, will end up snapping

Agreed, Could move aswell, These haven't and I haven't managed to avoid every pothole.

Edit: Yeah, Its fair enough. Mike, when you get some fire up some pics for future reference.

I can imagine the kind of thing you mean mate, fair enough. Just thought they were charging you £20 for a couple of M10x50s or something!

I have them, Easy enough to setup once you have the hang of it. Been fine for nearly a year now :)

I'm going by what the picture in the ad said, how are they different from smaller diameter bolts?

Fucking hell mate, save yourself £20 and just get an M10 with a spreader washer on it. That's all that is, a smaller bolt to replace the top strut>hub bolt

really needing to set the camber on my corsa as its pretty bad.

who has used these? on any car really.

how easy are they to adjust and get them right on both sides? i assume you use the lug on the head of the bolt as a reference point.

£20.50 from ebay.
