As for nuts, it looks like I got 6 regular nuts instead of 6 nylock nuts, and 5 of them seem to go on almost all the way, looks like I need tools to get them on, and 1 which barely gets on the bolt, so I assume it is the wrong thread size. Just wondering if regular nuts would be fine to install the swaybar and if any one else had gotten mismatched hardware as well. i'll have to conact newedge about this, though i might end up going with the panducky install kit. I really wanted to install this tomorrow, but i guess waiting a few days won't bother me that much.

Wow!
Yours is the very first hardware screw-up that has been posted. If you have the patience, you should call Joey Berry at Progress Tech. In Anaheim, CA. Their 714 a/c phone number is printed on the instruction sheet. Definitely
do not just buy hardware store nuts & bolts- they will not be Grade 8 hardened for automotive suspension use. I bought their first bar after the product hit the market, and all of the nuts in my kit were Nylock style. My suggestion is to insist on getting the correct hardware that you paid for. Tony Dimaio at New Edge Performance will probably not have the replacement stuff since he is not the manufacturer.
Sorry that this happened to you, man. Progress will fix their mistake, but it will take a few days to do it.
