Bilstein shocks top nut size
Anybody with Bilstein B8 (or maybe B6) know the size of the top nuts? I lost my 19mm pass-through socket which isn't sold individually so I'll need to buy a complete new pass-through socket set if 19mm is needed. Want to have all tools on hand ready to install when I get the shocks.

I believe that it was 14mm... but my memory may be colored by a couple months of baby-induced sleep deprivation.
During the install, I believe that the only wrenches required were 12mm (upper strut mounts), 14mm (top nut and sway bar links), & 17mm (lug nuts, lower shock and strut mounting bolts). 10mm was needed for the aero panels for the sway bar install.

Thanks for the response. Ft86speedfactory just responded to an email and said it is 19mm front and 17mm rear. That is the same as my ST Suspension coilovers.
