man i sure hope so...the dealer was closed today, so i couldn't get a new bolt...and since i have to drive the car, i couldn't really force it too hard on trying to get it out...i ended up jacking it up, and then just having to put everything back on and got nothing done.

sure you did. you learned a very important lesson: even the best laid plans of men, can sometimes go wrong.
that's why patience is a virtue.

You learned that if everyone tells you that it's going to fail, it will probably fail and you should have gotten at least two of those bolts from the stealer.

Exactly, we don't harp on people about the same **** all the time just to hear ourselves speak
Sorry blinker, I know exactly what you're going through. My install took 4 days (probably 12 hours of total work time). It sucks, but you'll pull through and when you rip through that first set of twisties, it'll instantly be worth the headaches, I can promise you that

My install took 3 days...included 3 broken boltouts, a "cross-drilled"(by accident) LCA, use of a teggy LCA on the left side and a crapload of broken bolts. I ended up buying two shock bolts and three of the long pointy bolts. So yea, if you read through this and than decide to do your own shocks/springs...get the damn bolts. You can return them if you end up not using htem you know.
