hi yes i had both my bolts on the compression struts snap at the same time getting the car out the drive





the only yhing i can put it down to was the wrong grade bolts they were zinc plated not by me but came with the kit causes some thing called nitrogen embritlement scared the shit out of me ,what if it happened on the motor way id be dead
so i drilled & tapped them out to take m12 instead of the original m10 & used 8.8 grade bolt & torqued them up

hope this helps its certainly not a rumour ANDY
