So from my previous thread, I went to get some STI lower control arms fitted but found that the ones I have are "too long" by about 10mm and the install was aborted.

I've done a load of google work, and found that the arms themselves are to suit GC8, but the pins are too long, they seem to have a "bulge" which is about 10mm, and of all the Google work, I've not found any pins similar to what I have on my control arms?

Would anyone know where/what these pins are from?

And secondly, where would I source a correct set of pins from? (all Google work has found that its arms with pins for sale).

A couple of pics attached. The first pic is from the interwebs, and is what I find all about the place.

The next lot of pics are the arms and pins I have.

Any thoughts, opinions, and suggestions would be appreciated!!
