OEM, dont mess around to much with graded bolts holding your calipers to the car.

Drill them out and helicoil the hole with new OEM bolts. My bolts seized and using my Hulk strength I screwed out the bolts with the aluminum threads in them. So I just helicoiled them. Worked like new.

fronts are m12x1.5, rears are m10x1.5. Front lengths are different on some years so get the correct ones.

If your threads are shot then you will want to have them helicoiled or timeserted. I prefer timeserts for that myself. If you have the scratch I strongly recommend having all of them done to save you headache in the future.

@BlackFighter - I recommend you do this preemptively on your new track car.

Ya I will have to take the calipers off when going rotors and air duct. So hope they are not to seized. Haven't done anything to the car yet. This track car will be a long time project.
