I just put that set of bolts on my car in the last 30 days - they are NOT too long.

And how would not having washers like the OEM's be an issue (I did wonder, but I have always trust Rob and saw no reason to not trust a man who depends on the Crossfire community for a LOT of his income).

Given the very MINIMAL, almost disturbing minimal torque that MB specifies, what damage could you do anyway?
