paranoid56 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Shane - I'll need some for the shims that I picked up from you. Will give you a call. How much? same as my site. but seems all parts stores should have it so it might be easier to just pick up. but let me know. also, if you pick some up at your store. let me know the price, as it might be cheaper and i can go there instead LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbcracken Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Doh! I already ordered some from rockauto but great idea Shane. The order from rockauto is not wasted since I needed a new cheap cabin air filter. Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfaxe Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Great fine Unclemat! Got mine from NAPA for about $2.49 ea. Easy-done. I ordered the 0.25 shims from Shane yesterday. I'll be putting them on the Bean's HD kit with Pinks ordered in the EDO group buy. I hope it does the trick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praedet Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 All right, I am about to put in my orders to do this as the trailer hitch has lowered the rear end of my car Is this the right set of studs from Autozone? Part Number: 610-308.1 Weight: 0.17 lbs Notes: AutoGrade (bagged) M10-1.25 thread Type: Serrated Stud Thread: M10-1.25 Knurl Diameter: 10.24 Length: 29mm Shoulder Length: 9mm If so, they are currently $0.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid56 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 yea, those are the right ones. and funky, i just ran out so had to go out and hit 4 different places. the kragen wanted 4.20 each per stud and the two autozones i went to had different prices LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max713 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Just ordered a set of 1/2" spacers with new studs from your site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Just installed the 3/8" shims with the Geo Metro studs (from Rockauto) on my '08. Had just enough thread left to put my rear strut (floor) brace back in. The rear nut seats all the way on (flush to the top of the bolt) and the front nut is about 2 threads shy of fully seating, with the brace in Plus my car is now perfectly level. Thanks Shane!

mbcracken Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I just installed the 3/8" shim on my 05 wagon with Bilstein HD's and stock shocks. I like the height and don't mind the wheel gap with my stock tire size. Rockauto also provided me the longer stud bolts (& cheap cabin air filter). I did have a small issue with reusing the old rear tophats. A couple of the bolts spun on me after replacing them with the new ones. I just put a vise grip on the bolt head while I tightened from above and all is well. Shane, thanks for the quickest order to shipment turn around I have ever experienced on the internet. Great working with you and thanks for the treat as well... Cheers, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaeGT Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 got my 3/8 shims today and got a cool sticker and candy!! sumthin to enjoy eatting while getting my suspension installed thanks shane! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaeGT Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 ok. so i went to Autozone and tried to find the part #98090 and they had none in stock. go figures. but i was looking and found these (attached picture). the part number is 799-057 but autozone has a COMPLETELY different picture for this part number. you can compare with the pic i attached. My question is, can i use these for the 3/8 butt shims? i read here that part #98090 is still shy of a full thread for 3/8th. Will it be a problem with the extra 11mm length? the difference between #98090 and 799-057 is the 11mm extra length and the vertical "lines" at the head of the screw/stud. I'm getting spec b bilsteins and swifts installed next saturday so i want to make sure i get the right studs. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 These are just bolts. You won't be able to tighten them down without welding them to the top hat - well, unless the rubber seat puts enough pressure on the bolt head, maybe sufficient for the torque needed there. Have Autozone order the studs for you. Takes a day or two and doesn't cost anything extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rimfaxe Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Here are some cross references: NAPA part number 6412150 Wagner Part number BD61197 Raybestos Part number 5090B Post installation note: these worked fine for me (in this case, the NAPA Parts) with my Bilstein HD and Pinks install. The 3/8 shim is also installed with no issues. Pressed them in with no problems... If I had it to do over again, would go on the thicker side and install the half inch-- the rear still sits a quarter inch lower than the front when measured from the top of the wheel well. Not a big issue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CwhillVT Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I want to buy the 1/2" thk spacers- can anyone confirm that the above listed studs will be sufficiently long. Will the geo metro bolts be long enough for the 1/2" spacers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoid56 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 the problem with those is that they are not studs. so you cant press them in. nothing will keep them from spinning when you are tighting up the nut. now, you could use these and tack weld the bolts in place.

05lgt5spd Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 So did anyone find a way to gain 1/2"? I see the mod for 3/8" but I need to come up 1/2" in the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Yeah, 2 or 3 threads of the stud for the nut to grab when using the Geo Metro wheel studs, lol. Other vendors are selling these too now. Maybe ask a vendor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
