Lower control arm brace?

Hey everyone,

I am trying to put my downpipe in today, and while unscrewing some of the bolts for the lower control arm brace, the front two bolts are not able to come off?? When I try to loosen or tighten them, they just spin freely. Can't seem to get them off. I got them off fine last time... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!

Threads are likely stripped in the monting holes. You can wiz the head of the bolts off, drill out remaining bolt and tap to a larger size.

Or wiz wheel the bolt heads off and throw the tie bar in the dumpster

Id leave the brace if you're a big autocrosser but otherwise you'd probably never know the difference. Especially if you have rubber bushings...
