• Q: Tap Needed?  JoshSti2 months ago

  Do I really need a Tap for my 2005 STi to install this Kartboy Subframe Lockdown bolts? Please advise.
• • 1 of 1 people found the following answer helpful

    A:  It is not required to, however, because your car is a bit older, you may want to consider using a chaser tap to clean up the threads before you install these. The holes where these are installed are threaded from the factory but there are no bolts that are installed from the factory so the holes are exposed and can get dirty over time.

• Q: Susp. height  hrvelez6 years ago

  Does this bolts get the suspension 1/4 lower as stated on the reviews?
• • 1 of 1 people found the following answer helpful

    A:  Kartboy has confirmed that these bolts should not have any affect on the suspension height because the the subframe is already locked down on height. The bolts are intended to eliminate movement rather than compress the subframe to the body.

    A:  The tap needed on my 03 WRX was a M12x1.25. I followed the advice and first bought the size 14 and it was too big. FYI, save yourself an extra trip to the hardware store.
