| Audi S3 upper strut brace ordered As the title says I have just ordered one of these and will collect it friday, what I would like to know from the people who have fitted these is what size bolts will I need? I'm guessing M8 or M10 but also what length will I need?

| Re: Audi S3 upper strut brace ordered M8 bolts and washers from ScrewFix (Don't get then from B&Q as they are rubbish  I got the 30mm M8's as it's easier to get the nylon nuts on the end

| Re: Audi S3 upper strut brace ordered I could have sold you a very nice aluminium shiney version for £25.. Also, put the M8 bolts UP through the brace as its easier to tighten the nuts from the top than struggling to get at them from under the arch.

| Re: Audi S3 upper strut brace ordered All fitted, in fairness there's not much difference and I felt more when I fitted my lower brace but oh well its a bit of under bonnet bling DV rattle's against it but ive ordered some black adhesive foam to sort that little prob, when I've got that stuck on I'll take some pics and post them up
