Default M12 Studding - Best place to buy?

I'm close to putting on my suspension brackets and I'm wondering where the best place to buy some M12 studding is? Having a look on ebay it seems quite expensive for what it is.

Also how much studding is needed to get the suspension brackets sorted?

Cheers

It would have helped if I called it threaded rod instead of studding . Cheers TT.

Your local builders merchant should keep it in stock, as it's use a lot in the building trade.

I don't know if you have a Toolstation branch near you but they do a 1 metre length of M12 threaded bar for £1.55
