Default =-O KYB AGX goes UH OH!

KYB AGX install...gone wrong.

Well, I got my KYB AGX's BRAND SPANKIN' NEW, IN BOX, all that off of some guy off another board (might get banned if I name the board). I have those, mated to Neuspeed Sports.

So i pulled my car in after work and proceeded to tear down the front suspension. Got the shock/spring off, walked to the compressor, got all that un-done and all parts I'll need to transfer (i.e. bushings, dust boot, etc.). No problem so far. Searched around for the front/left shock, got it. Compressed the 1st spring, got the shock in there, hand threaded the top bolt, grabbed the air gun, SNAP!.

I swear, the top 3/4 of the threads and a little below the bolt. BROKE off, causing the shocks to be broken and now leaking. Sounds weird, but the bolt tightened, then just below it..snapped clean off. Now WTF can I do? I've already called out the person I bought them from a few times, waiting to hear back (it's been a few hours) I've emailed KYB asking if they could do anything. I mean, I have everything for these EXCEPT the warranty. Goddamnit, I'm so pissed off!

I can try and get pics later if my friend gets home, he has a digicam.
