Aurthur,
If you want to upgrade your suspension hardware I could help.I replaced
all the suspension bolts on my car with mil spec AN bolts.These are
aircraft grade items also used on all serious race cars.They are sold by
grip length,not overall length.The idea is that there are no threads in
the joint.The shank of the bolt is the exact lenght of the
joint.Hardened washers are used to shim to exact fit and to make sure
thr nut doesn`t bottom.This requires carefull measurement.I have the AN
part numbers for spit/gt6 bolts.If interested let me know.
