Yeah the bolts i used had a gap. And yeah the subframe and hub nuts are welded on. However they are just spot welded so they are not super strong. One of my hub nuts broke off on my car. But I used a spare nut from the top of the old shocks, since it was a 10x80 nut as well. It was actually much easier then I anticipated!

Ah okay sweet deal.


What is already ordered for suspension:
Ground Control coils
KYB AGX
Blox Camber kit/upper control arm

And what is left to order:
Blox LCA (gold)
And the hardware I am ordering:
-M10x1.25x80 (6x)
-M10x1.25x40 (4x)
-M10 washers (20) Don't plan on using 5 per bolt but at $0.05 who cares

I think that is all I will need? Front suspension bolts should be okay from what I've read and they looked alright.

Are there any ways to see whether a bumper cover is legit oem or Certifit? Certifit is usually thinner, but is there like an oem stamp? Might be trading my Skunk2s for an oem front and cash.

The certifit should have something on the inside that says either R DOT or made in Tawain. Thats my $.02 lol.

More goodies! KYB AGX came today as well as my bolts. The guy only gave me 4 10mx1.25x80 bolts instead of 6, so the other 2 are on the way. The shocks are real nice. My question is how much should I cut the bump stop? They came with some, I'm probably going to dro pmy car 2-2.5".

They look pink:
