Broke stud on Ksports...how to replace??

When installing my rear ksports, i overtightened one of the nuts on the top studs and it broke. I need to have my car back on the road ASAP, how do i fix this?

take a hammer....beat it out...find similar sized bolt form the hardware store to get you buy.....then when u get a spare day...have that bolt welded to the bottom side of the mount so its permanant

I can weld. I put the stock stud in there but it wont really fit into the hole well...if i weld it there, will i void the warranty?

The stud has nothing to do with the rest of the coilover system, my warranty isnt voided because of that.

its a component of the whole system and I bet if u called K-sport and told them teh stud broke...they would prolly say u over tightened it....but any way try doing what I suggested and see if K-sport will replace it
