It's not safe without. I at least wouldn't feel safe without it. Try contacting Ground Control direct and see if they can send you a replacement. If not, take one out of the other side and head to a Home Depot, or other hardware store and see if they can find you something similar.

How the hell did you lose it?

Well anyway, go to a hardware store and find something that works.

Probably a specialty screw store is where you'll end up going.

Geez man, be careful with ****.

i've been driving without any of the screw for like a year now. the weight of your car holds it in place.

OK I can see losing one, but how did you lose ALL OF THEM? Ok im not gonna ask. But i'm sure ACE hardware or home depot will have that. Just a grade A allen bolt. Should be nice and cheap. Sure the people working in that department could help you out.

I'm always going to Home Depot and Lowe's looking for parts and 90% of the time they don't have want I need. I 'd try a local nut & bolt business or the manufacter of the suspension (Eibach/Ground Control).

I'm going to the local nut & bolt store to get misc. nuts and bolts that I need to finish my swap. I've already when to Honda and all the hardware stores.
