DO I need new "stretch" bolts when installing coilovers

Anyone have the part numbers ?

When I did my suspension on my Audi they recommended certain bolts be replaced as they are meant to be single use.

Thanks!

Coils hopefully installed this weekend. WOOT

No need for new bolts. Just reuse the old ones unless they are cross threaded or rusted.

Its making me wonder tho what they meant.. It might be the bolts to adjust your camber. Anyways, I lowered my car with coilovers and I didnt change any bolts..
