So these aren't the bolts involved in the subframe bushing inserts or the differential bushing swap? Are the bolts in these bushing changes reusable?

The diff bushings you are supposed to change the nuts and the subs are SUPPOSED to be reusable, BUT I had a 11k mile car snap one off on removal Saturday and the ones in my car had obviously stretched. Other then the adjustment bolts, ALL bolts should be replaced. As far as that goes, any TTY bolt is supposed to be replaced. These bolts started being used on cylinder heads by Ford and GM years back. Just ask the techs that didnt change them!

I know I'm a broken record, but for those simply doing the rear diff bushings and subframe inserts, what do we need? Can you supply those?

I'm doing coilovers, swaybars, and the Street 1 bushing kit...can't seem to figure out what is needed for that!

...confused old man...

You can reuse subframe, and diff bolts. My bolt kit does the lower control arms, and the spindles. I am sourcing out the lower shock bolts, tie rod to spindle bolts and better diff bolts/subframe bolts.

Thanks Charlie...just keep me updated! I am not messing with the control arms (for now...although the BMR arms look cool), just the other bushings, shocks, and sway bars.

bump on wanting to replace the sub-frame bolts as I snapped one trying to do the bushing install.

I have had it happen once too. Now when they wont turn I apply heat to them to soften the Loc-Tite. I still feel a bolt that size should be stronger then that!

Anything further on the diff mounts and subframe bolts? I suppose I will order a set of the BMR arms (so I'll need some of those bolts) but really don't want to get into all of the other rear end bushings. Just need hardware for the 'Street I' + coilover swap.

I'm still a little slow.....these replace the stock trailing arm bolts ?? If these do I'll order
a set since I have to swap out my bmr arms for a set of CCW modified bmr arms to get the 16 inch rims to fit.

John at CCW told me that they will ship on WED or THU along with the 16x9.5 rims. So I will take some pics for you.
