More bolts available.

In addition, I have a set of 2x of the previous 80mm bolts (new) that I’ll sell at a discount.

Also, if anyone is interested, I have my previous used set of 4x 80mm bolts I’ll offer for half price. Absolutely nothing wrong with them, probably just me being a bit of a perfectionist swapping them out (and because I could)

No, mine are high tensile Class 12.9 bolts and class 12 nuts sourced from Australia and torqued to 110 ft/lbs. ) (not 80)

I appreciate what @ron@whoosh is trying to there, but replacing the stock Class 10.9 torque to yield bolts with other Class 10.9 non-torque to yield results in a much reduced clamping load on the strut. Maybe acceptable on a street car, but that would actually make me a nervous and I’d not risk that driving on a track especially in the lower bolt location that takes higher loads. One H&R camber bolt at 80-90 ft/lb in the upper location is already a reduction from the factory spec.
