Default coil over problem

i just received my progress coil overs from corsport on the box it said 01-03 i drive a 04 and i ordered these specifically for my 04 and i remembered hearing that the 04 needs 16 mm bolts so when i try to attach my camber bolts they did not fit so what now could they be the wrong camber bolts if they did fit look how much the bolt sticks out the end.

Get a 5/8" drill bit, and drill out the holes on your coilovers. The bolts are supposed to sit like the top bolt is lined up.

you have the right cam bolts but you should have order the coilover set for the ep3. i inquired progress about this a while back and they are EXACTLY the same EXCEPT the 75.1007 (the ep3 kit) has the larger holes in the clevis bracket to use with the 16mm bolt and knuckle

Your coilovers have the wrong size holes for the bolts. They sent you the wrong model (you have the 14mm bolt model, when you need the 16mm bolt model).
