Got your attention, huh.
If you go with the 'vette endlinks (from GM or GM Parts Direct), they do not ship with nuts. The correct Chevy p/n at a dealer is $6.48 A PIECE! GM Parts Direct is $2.47 a piece. I went to my local auto parts store got 8 (2 for each corner) plus washers for $4.21.
They are metric threads. Spec is 12m X 1.75. Would not advise getting them from a hardware store. Who knows how durable those are. Auto stores (good ones) will carry at least Grade 5. You'll need a 19mm wrench for the nut and a 6mm allen to hold the stud from turning while you tighten.
