Where have the people who've lowered their car using lowering blocks got new U bolts from?

Just use normal bolts, mine came from BnQ, think they should have been about £8 but the saturday kid on the till got it wrong and charged me 80p lol

Are they not U bolts then not had a look to check lol. What size are the bolts?

Nah they're not U-Bolts, you'll just need longer bolts dependant on the depth of the lowering block

Afaik M8. Don't use normal bolts if you can help it. use high tensile steel bolts, at least 8.8 but preferably 10.9, you don't want anything snapping on you

Yep was gonna use high tensile bolts anyway theres a good fastner shop near my gf's house very cheap.
