I installed the ones (elongated compared w/ factory) that came with the kit. See the attached pics. |

FWIW, that torx bit you see in my pic snapped when we used a torque wrench on it with an open wrench holding the nut. Then we hit the nut with an impact wrench while the shock stem was free. Apparently neither approach worked for us Would like to get the "correct" solution for torquing this down without having to re-do the entire thing out of the car!

Really? The shock top goes through the camber plate's spherical bearing, right? I tried turning the 21mm nut with a simple ratchet and it seemed the shock turns along with it.

I use my 3/8 impact to get it started and do the final tightening with a torque wrench.
