Default FYI - Front Strut Tower Bar Bolts Breaking Off

Not sure if anyone else is having this problem on your ITR, but at the last track event I had one of the bolts for the strut tower bar snap off. I attempted to take the other three off and another one snapped off. (And, no...I had torqued them down to manufacturer settings). Verdict...cut the other two off, drilled out the bolts and put 4 new grade 8 bolts/washers/nuts in place.
