What makes you think that as you can get the same sizes in the 12mm if you scroll down?

Thanks

Are you talking about hte parts which bolt to the ARB?
If so it's 10mm because they take 100mm nuts with 17mm heads as that's what I used when replacing my drop links
If you're on about the adjustable part then I'm not sure.

Not to confuse things, but an OEM drop link has a M10 coarse thread, and therefore would take a 14mm headed nut (Japanese) or a 15mm nut. (ISO - European)

If we're not talking about the OEM links, then you may get some nuts which don't have a conventional head size, but the thread must still be 10mm diameter.

WOW.. haha

Yep thats confused me! I have posted the Eibach anti roll bar I have just purchased below


http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Eibach-Ant...#ht_1037wt_905

So i know which anti roll bar and I know they are front 65-75mm and rear is 90-115mm overall length. The only thing I dont know is what the bolt diameter is??? it must be 10mm or 12mm? as thats all they stock and i would guess its must be one of these!!

Someone must know!

The standard head (and nut) diameter for a M10x1.5mm coarse bolt is 17mm so if you purchase nuts to fit the droplinks from a fastner supplier they will be 17mm.
