Have the front end of you car lowered on 2 lowering springs (h&R) and the back end on stock springs?
It will just be for over night b/c we dint have enuf time to finish.

Thanks for any input

it's ok for just one night...
it'll be an uncomfortable or uneven ride though.

i was in the same situation, when my rear bolts were seized and the shop didn't have time to finish it that afteroon...

i still went out and drove around that night..

Man, that bitch would understeer like crazy!!! It's not bad for anything except handling at that moment.

imported_gatherer

yeah understeer like crazy ...... personally I would have started on the back so that it would handle better if I didn't get the fronts done

well looks like i will be driving like this till saturday. The head of the bolt snapped on the rear lca, so the bolt is still lodged in there. Does anyone think this is safe? Its pretty seized in there, and i wont be driving much so...

nope completely unsafe .... keep off the roads .....you don't want it hitting a bump and pop it's loose and another bump and pop it's out......

Ya, those LCA ones LOVE to get siezed to the bushing. That's why air tools are king. Ya... unless a collapsed susp in your idea of a safe car, I'd keep it off the road for now. Really, nothing is gonna happen even if you do drive it for a bit, but... what if it does you'll likely lose control and crash. Ideally, pick up new LCA bushings for when you get at it again.

Enjoy, I had the same thing happen when i was installing my first set of coilovers. It was a good thing I didn't need my stock shocks cause I had to cut them to pieces.

Do make sure you get the new bushings, they're only $60

even air tools dont work soemtimes. I had a seized bolt in mine, and my gun nor my friend scotts could not dislodge it, I eneded up cutting the whole bushing off, and putting a new bushing in.

I reccomend you buy a angle grinder with cut off disc as well, very handy and not expensive.
