Well there is some good and some bad
Here is the bad, on the way home from work the other day i heard this horrible squeaking coming from the back left of the car.
I get home raise the car up and check it out
this is what i find
This is the bolt holding the rear left suspension setup together.
It completely snapped in half and now the other half is still threaded in the bolt and i can not get it out.
This is just great...
I have spent the last 2 days trying to drill the bolt out just to be able to put a new one in.
Car is not drivable till i can do this
it sucks!
But on the bright side today these came in the mail a few days ago
I cant wait to put them in!
All i need now is to order some Brackets

Whoa! How the heck do you snap rear suspension bolts? Were you loaded? Where does it go - shocks, main T-bar? Yeah, nice seats... to play video games or watch TV with, for now until you get your car fixed... Good luck!

You have no idea. I'd set that bish up in front of the tv with Forza on the Xbox and my racing wheel and pedals. It'd be on like donkey kong!

Retro,
Are you able to see the head of the other end of the bolt that is still stuck in your car, meaning is the other side still out of the other side of the hole its screwed into? If so, let me know. See the picture below if my description sucks lol.
Can you see the other side like this?

hahaha thanks for the support guys
Im getting the seat brackets from a local shop here called vex performance.
I have been talking to them about ordering some in.
As for the bolt i got it out today!
it is the bolt that goes into the left side of the bottom bar holding the rear shock in place. It helps hold the whole rear assembly together including the rear spring inplace.
to get it out i drilled a hole through it and after burning through about 15 drill bits,
like literally they would burn bright red and smoke a ton
i got a hole big enough to get an ante thread puller in there so as it screws in the bolt screws out!
so after three painful days of drilling for a few hours, it is finally out
however honda doesnt have any replacement bolts in stock until the 29th of september!
WTF
so right now i have rigged up a bolt from home depot if the same dimensions but i just hope the grade of steel is close.
the bolt from honda has a rating of 10 and the one i could find is only 8.8
so i hope it is strong enough to last a few weeks
