So just make sure you check your suspension over carefully before any track event.

Just thought I share with you guys.
Glad you found that during the prep, and not the hard way at the track. What bolts were they?

One bolt was on the front sway bar the other was holding the linkage that supports the rear spring (that would be scary if I lost that one).
