I was going to install my ITR suspension springs into my GSR, but when I went to remove the 14mm lower bolt on the rear shock, it BROKE! I cannot get the rest of the bolt to budge at all, anyone have any suggestions or have encountered this same problem please help, thanks in advance.

ouch, you have lower LCA seized bolt syndrome.. i read a lot about it on this board, but personally i've never seen it myself.. maybe for the other side you could let it soak in liquid wrench overnight so there won't be any complications? that bolt is seized to the rubber bushing in your LCA.. i think you'll have to buy a new bushing and have a machine shop press it in for you

I'm thinking I might just bite the bullet and let a shop install the springs. I have a shop that I can trust with my car so I know things won't get fugged up. Hmm, I wonder if now wouldn't be a bad time to just get ITR LCAs and shocks?
