Do you need longer bolts or will normal ones reach?

Well I grabbed few different size spacers then played around till had the most spacers in and still get the old bolts to fit done it on my mates astra at same time, but if you wanna raise it loads you will need longer bolts.

And yeah normal spacers that's all that kit is linger bolts and spacers :lol:

The closest bolt is just the standard. I know that much. And aslong as the saftey catch works its sits straight. I found out the hard way when ibrealised mine was siezed haha
