Crap sorry I completely forgot...Ill be right back with info (I promise)

OK so this is what they came with for hardware. The hardware measures as follows:
(4) M8x1.25x25 Bolt
(4) M8x1.25 Flange Lock Nut
I didnt unbolt my door hinge so I didnt get a measurement on that but Im sure you can sort that one out yourself if you decide to get one that is longer. The hardware is class 8.8 but I will pick up some 10.9 for added strength. Hope this helps

Fender braces are definitely illegal in SM. But in reality, anyone who runs them is likely not a threat at any national event. So run them if you like, I don't care (Saying generically to anyone who might have them...)

Lol, yes they are illegal in SM but and then again so is my rear bumper support.

But as I said before I could care less about SCCA classing. Im not a national level driver, nor is my car properly prepped; she's about 400# overweight. Oh and Im still on street tires

Dallas- I've seen you comment prior on chassis bracing and the consensus is that there are more bling than anything else in which I agree with you. However, people tend to think that the fender braces do actually make a noticeable improvement and this is coming from someone reputable like Robert Fuller. So while there are many other avenues I would explore prior (bushings, coils, bars etc.) I've pretty much exhausted those so I figured I would give these a shot.

Shared a garage w/Robi a few years ago & I was picking his brain a bit. His 2 recommendations for my car were to use his solid suspension bushes & the fender braces (was surprised about his positive notes on those braces)

Try Evasive! If they don't have it, they usually get parts really QUICK...
