what size sockets needed for rear swap?
So, anyone know or remember what size sockets are needed for a rear end swap? Just wondering cause I only have a limited amount of metric sockets. I know i need a 19 mm for the shocks.

Re: what size sockets needed for rear swap?
Thought the shocks were 18mm?
Either way my car has a bunch of mixed bolts/nuts. Some metric, some US. 9/16 is popular size I think... I'd have a good set of both and go to town on it. I think the LCA's were 15mm. One end may be 17mm. Forget what the torque arm bolts were, they are quite large, maybe 13/16?
A set of both will be required I think. 15-18mm should be purchased, good set to have.
