You have to buy longer bolts. Just jack the car up (all four corners) and put jack stands under both transverse springs (to support all four corners of the springs) and then remove all four bolts. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and get the longer ones but make sure the diameter are the same as the stockers. Just get longer ones.

OR

You could pay $100 for the kit. I personally didnt wanna pay that much for fookin bolts and a few bushings. Bolts dont even cost $1.00 a peice at Lowes.
