I'm in the process of installing my BC Coilovers on my 2012 Mazda 3 sedan. No issues with the front install, the rear however there is.

The lower bolt for the rear shock that comes on the car is not long enough to thread through the hole. It appears Corksport actually sends you the replacement bolt for Gen 2s but the gen 1 does not need it. If I go to Mazda will I be able to buy a gen 1 bolt as a fix, if so would anyone know what the code is?

I'll give a dealership a call tomorrow but I'd just like to know what I should really be looking for. I checked Home Depot for a replacement bolt but there wasn't one that would work as to what has been said on the Mazdaspeedforums

I had to go to two different locations to pick them up. Luckily the one in the picture was close to work, and the other was on the way to get the coils installed. Both had just one in stock.

Give different places a call to ask. I remember there was a dealer close to Richmond Hill, maybe, that had 4, but this was a month and a half ago

Ok, I'll give Achilles and 401 Dixie a call tomorrow then. I'll try part source too incase they have it

Just an update:

Called 401 Dixie Mazda this morning and they didn't have the part, but they ordered it and it will be there tomorrow. They can get next day on anything. The rep I spoke to on the phone said that Avante Mazda and the one in Richmond Hill had some in stock but I didn't have the time to make the drive out there, so for anyone in need in the area you can pop in there.
