Just picked up an impact wrench for swapping summer/winter wheels. What size socket do I need for the oem mkv gti lug nuts ?

Ive read posts about installing a MK7 GTi steering wheel on a MKV Gti, but what about a MK7 GLi steering wheel ? Will it fit on a MKV Gti ?

The bushings are bad on my APR rear sway bar for my 2007 GTI. I purchased the sway bar in 2011. Anyone know what size and where to buy new bushings ? Any other swaybar hardware I should replace ? APR no longer sells the sway bar. APR says it was manufactured by Hotchkis. Possibly 27mm ?
