Is my car 3 or 5 bolt pic below

Not sure what I'm looking for here, clearly there is 3 bolts on top for the strut brace but I don't think that's what they are referring to. I'm guessing 5 but before I order coils can someone confirm please.

It's definitely 3.

Thank you, are you sure there is not 2 bolts under strut brace?

TRYM3 · 08-23-2019, 05:29 PM

And I saw anything built after 1/15 would be 5 bolt and mine is 3/15 build

Should be a 5 bolt, the 2 others will be underneath the brace.

Racer20 · 08-23-2019, 05:42 PM

Yup, that's 5 bolt. The three bolt mounts have the 3 bolts spaced out more.

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure. Are you confident enough that I could go ahead and order a 5 bolt coil over today

Anyone have a pic of a 5 bolt to compare ?

Would the strut bolt pattern be the same in the rear as it is in the front?

No. The rear uses a shock and it has a three-bolt mount. The rear mount has not changed.
