I definitely did not buy new bolts, TTY on a head, sure, but on a suspension part, I'm comfortable reusing.

All that money you spent and you cheaped out on the new bolts?
The way I saw it, I'm only going to do this once.
The spec I have reads 74 lbft + 120°
Where did you find 165 lbft?

At stock power I added inserts. The stiffer rear sway I bought has been in my garage for 5 years.
