Question: Anyone else, besides me, having a problem with the 2.0mm screws stripping? I am scared to remove a screw! almost everytime i do one strips... using the XRAY screws and the HUDY tool that came with the car. The 2.5mm are perfect. 3 of the 4 screws that hold the fron shock tower on are now stripped. The screw that holds the front chassis brace on from the bottom is stripped and a few others 
Am i tightening them to much or what? |

yes and no. you wanna loctite any metal to metal and not overtighten them but ive found that 1.5 and 2.0 mm screws strip easily anyway. just dremel a slot in em and bring em out. |
