There is 2 different bolt problems.
The one posted fixes the Rear mounting bolt problem where with the stock bolt and wider tires the tire would rub on the sharp enges and start shredding the inside of the tire.
The other one like explaned earlier is for the front mounting.
I don't want you buying the rounded off bolts and think your fixing the 2 small of a bolt problem

i've already bought two IRS's and had mine pulled once waiting for a guy... One of them was destroyed on the inside, the other ended up being from a T-bird and the last guy backed out at the last minute.

It pissed me off so much I figured i'd just stick with the sra but since i'm back on the long term with my car. IRS plans are going forward.... sure I make too much power I don't give a sh@t, lol.
