Hi there, i've finally received my RSx's and i can't wait to install them, the back have the correct 'ends' however, do it the need for longer shocks, i ordered some with the correct upper mount, but the lower one is simply a 1/2" eye loop, it does not have the little bolt or pin in, which seems to the bolted to the lower control arm.

How can i make this work? Could i simply grind the lower mount off, and weld on a new mount? Or use a 1/2 pin and weld the actual pin to the control arm? I'm sure there's a way. I don't think i can reuse the old pin, becuase it's flat and wide at the ends, and the bushing they has a completly round whole in it.
 






I just put some RSX's on a little over a week ago, mine is stock height though. Can't really picture what you're talking about, but probably is different for a lift.
