Hotchkis Stb?
I just ordered a hotchkis strut tower brace, and I was wondering what size holes I have to drill for the bolts? 1/4, 5/16,3/8???

13/32"...Clearance holes for a 3/8 bolt,if iI remember correctly,
Make sure you dont drill thru and into your tire...best advice I can give ya
Instruction sheet is pretty straight forward
Brace made a BIG difference in my car
