Default RS strut bar bolts

so ive searched and as you may all know on RS integras there are simply plugs where a strut bar on gsr/R would be. So as many previous threads have mentioned 8x1.25 25mm length should be appropiate for the holes. To my dismay, they are not. slip right through the hole, should it? doesnt seem with just a nut on top it would work? or am I crazy? could I hunt down stock ones from a gsr/R? TIA

wth are you talking about ..

From what I got, you're saying a gsr style, or actual bar, is what you want to fit into your car?
Atleast where the stock gsr bolts into, not on the strut, but above it right?

what's the problem then, too small of bolts?

If the head is too small for the hole, use washers on both sides.

but yeah now I would need 2 nuts per bolt to make it stay up there, locking nuts right? that would eliminate the use of washes since the nuts are wider than the hole. from what ive seen people only use one nut per bolt. i feel retarded idk why i cant figure it out so itll look like this= -I-

When I put an ITR bar in my Civic, I used two washers and 1 nut per bolt.

ok what size bolts did you use? nuts? how did the washer stay on the other side? did you buy a bolt like this= T but upside down? so the head is in the fenderwell, with the nut on top?

I have no idea. I brought in my strut bar into the hardware store to find one that fits through the hole with enough clearance. I bought a bolt that looks like a "T". Put a washer underneath the car and underneath the nut.
