Default springs install went bad

yea i took my gsr to a local shop and they got the front springs in just fine but when they went for the back...they snapped the ******* bolt on the rear right lower control arm and now my car is riding on a short "iffy" piece of half bolt sitting inside the bushing halfway inside. now i have to order directly from acura new bushings and bolts for both sides of the rear lower control arms. would it be safe to still drive around? i get paranoid that the piece of bolt leftover is just gonna give and the whole chassis fall down onto my tire or worse.

I definatly wouldn't trust it. You should be able to take the whole controll arm to a machine shop, and have the guy either remove or drill out the bolt.
