Don't use cheap ass bolts as shown on that site. Spend the money for high grade bolts. Suspension bolts need to be strong.
Agreed. I did this same "trick" with my rear camber, works good. You must use either case hardened bolts (like what came on the car from the factory), or zinc coated grade-8 or higher bolts, something that AT LEAST meets automotive grade. Grade-8 is automotive grade, something with a higher number will work too if you can find it.

Oh yes, when you put the new bolts on, you MUST coat them completely in thread locker, unless you want them to rattle loose under suspension vibration, which they CAn and WILL do.
