    Just bought a set of ST Coilovers used, looks like I'm missing a piece...

    These nuts at the top end of the coilovers seem to be missing, can't find them in the box I got them in... What are the specs of these nuts? Can I just grab them from a hardware store? Or reuse the ones in my stock suspension? Or can I order them online somewhere? Or am I SOL and need to grab the pitchforks and chase down the guy I bought them off?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question or is obvious, I'm still a pretty big noob around here

    IIRC, they are nylon locknuts. Shouldn't be anything special.

    They are the same size as the ones not he OEM strut shock IIRC. Double check with somebody else, but you should be able to just use your OEM ones.

    I've got new ST's I'll be installing this weekend so I can compare the NUTS for you.
