Default Type R Front Strut Bar

Hey guys just a quick question. For those of you who added this to your setup, what nut/bolt size did you use?

Some simple green would work wonders with that dirty engine. Get the engine hot and cover the battery, fusebox, distributor and intake filter. Spray it with simple green or any kind of degreaser. Then hose the engine off. Wipe it all down with a rag and spray tire foam on your radiator hoses, valve cover, etc.

If it rattles, push down in the middle of the bar to prestress it as you tighten the bolts.

did the M8 bolts, nuts, and washers work? if so, maybe list what you used and where you got them, so in case someone searches in the future and finds this thread, it can help them out.

Thanks for the tips guys.
Yes the M8 Bolts/Nuts/Washers worked. But to my preferences, I would've prefered longer bolts. And black ones as well (lol I just went to home depot and they only had regular ones).
But anyways, when I went there I got 4 M8 x 20 bolts, 4 M8 x 1.25 nuts, and 8 M8 washers.
Hope that helps anyone in the future if they want to get the bar on.
I think later on in the future I'm going to look for longer black ones, but for now I just wanted the damn thing on. LOL

Is the ITR brace better than the GSR brace?

Oh, and at most part stores, they have a place that shows bolt size (m8, m10, etc.) and then show part numbers to find the right bolt, washer, nut, whatever.

no not really... if you want to make a noticeable difference, sway bars make a world of a difference.
