It sounds like they had to extract the broken off studs from the block, which isn't an issue if they did it correctly and then just replaced them with new OEM studs. If you drove it home I really don't think you'll have any issues in the future.
Get them to re-gas and add dye check. They did this with mine and after it went warm again I flashed a UV torch at the front pulley and it was completely covered in fluorescent dye check indicating that the seals in the compressor were gone.
I'm not sure if this has ever been noted before so I'll detail what I experienced.
I am shifting houses (1500km apart) and I was driving to my new house with both key fobs in the car, (one of which had a low battery warning in the remote occurring every time I hopped in the car).

The standard setup is adjustable from the factory it just has a small range that's all. It's normally hard to get anywhere near -1.7º from an angle less than -1.7º but given that you're at -2.1º then you should be able to get back to -1.7º without having to buy the camber adjustment kit. Most...

I got mine from Scuderia Autoart but I don't think they import them any more which is a shame as I have heard heaps of aftermarket exhausts and they are the best sound in my opinion, I get numerous compliments per week on mine. Give them a call and see if they can put you onto one or at the...
I usually let the car sit for about 10 minutes before I dip but I can see what you mean by not being able to see where the oil ends, I usually flip the dip stick over and find that it is easier to see where the oil ends on the blank side. The marked side for me is always patchy with oil but the...
