So as an early b-day present from me to me i ordered the Stillen Strut Tower Brace. I installed it tonight but i had a problem. I accidently stripped the threads to one of the bolts and it seems that i did so on the strut too. Would i be ok to drive around with 2 bolts holding my strut rather than 3? Would anything major happen if i drive like that for say...a week or less until i get the replacement parts. I will obviously replace whatever i need to asap. I just want to make sure im not endangering my life by driving my car.

Oh and according to courtseyparts.com are these the parts i need: 54320 and 54459? Link to front suspension parts: http://www.courtesyparts.com/a....htmlI think im right but i just want to double check. Thanks in advance for your help!

I'd be very careful and obviously not drive the car hard until you get the replacement bolts.
