    Changing out springs and struts....

    Hey, I'm going to be lowring my car soon as was wondering about bolts that have a hell of a time to get off. I remember a while back people cutting them off in the fronts etc. Well I know about the bolt that won't come off in the fronts but what about the rears? I know it really depends on the car but if anyones had any troubles like that I'd like to hear about em so I can go buy the bolts so I can get to work! Thanks!

    Well, I just dropped mine tonight, and we didn't cut a thing. There were some bolts that were pretty tight, but we were able to hammer them out! I say don't cut until you know you have to!

    I had to use a pry bar to get the back rusted bolts off.

    I guess I'll just buy 2 new ones for the front just in case and hope for the best with the rears. The car isn't rusty and I have air tools so it shouldn't be too bad.
