Default Lower arm bar help

I have a skunk2 rear lower arm bar (mouth full) but i do not have the bolts. i called skunk2 and they want to charge me $40 for the bolts. i dont see those bolts being worth $40. anyone know if i can go to home depot and just get bolts that are the correct length and thread? Or if you have a better idea?

In Japan they call the lower arm bar "ude garame". Some call it the Kimura, because Kimura Sensei broke Helio Gracies' arm with it in the 70's. LOL! Yes, you can use a bolt from your local auto supplier, just make sure that they are hardened bolts, the right length, thread, ect.

Are your lower arms not bolted in because it should use the factory bolts...

i think the stock bolts would work just fine, try them out and if it doesnt work then get a little bit longer ones.

the skunk2 bolts are longer than the oem bolts because the bar sticks out at least a quarter of an inch from the holes are that you need to go through. on a beaks bar the mounting plate is thin therefore you can use an oem bolt
