Lowering bolts

May be a stupid question but I'll give it a try. Do you re-use your stock bushings and put them on the new longer bolts? I bought the bolts from A&A and they did not come w/ bushings.

Only bad question is one you do not ask IMO. I had longer bolts on my car out back, but it was too low. Put the OEM bolts back on, and used the after-market bushings. You can re-use the bushings, they are just not as flashy looking. Some one must have done this???? Good luck!

Just curious, but how do you switch the rears to the longer bolts?? Can I just remove them by taking the short one out and putting a longer one in?? Thanks

Yes Sir. Pretty easy to do and I think there is a sticky here about it or maybe in the DIY. Just jack it up, pull the old one and stick in the longer one. I have a set of long bolts and nuts at the house, and I did not use them as it was too low for speed bumps, even all the way up. I did use the bushings when I put my stock bolts back on and put it most of the way down on OEM bolts. PM me your info and I will send you the nuts and bolts. Happy Birthday

Thanks Chiefdave, but I just ordered a set the other day along with a set of front and rear billstein sports. I hope it rides as nice as everyone says with the new shocks. Thanks for the info also.

The wheels are CCW 505's in chrome 19x10/11 on pirellis. I just put those on about a month ago and couldn't be happier.
Thanks
