Don't buy Koni sports...

I just got back yesterday from a trip to New Hampshire and the day before I left for home the bolt that holds the shock insert to the bottom of the original shock housing fell out. This is after I fixed the other side a week earlier. Anyways I went to like 6 different stores ranging from home depot to advanced auto and various different dealer service departments only to find that not one of them had the bolt I needed to replace the one that backed out.

Tomorrow I'm making my own bolt to fix it and I'm going to locktite it and airgun the crap outta the bolt.

If anyones still interested in getting Koni's you should PM me for help on installing them.

home depot do not have much specialty bolts. you need to go to specialist who just sells nuts and bolts.

search online a little...I found my supercharger bolts there.

Locktite is great stuff, if you had used it the first time around, it never would have fallen out.

Don't over torque that bolt, if you strip the threads in the shock your really going to be SOL.

Just give Gordon at KONI a call and he should be able to send you a new one for free. I would agree with njmaxseltd to use Locktite to prevent it from happening again.
