I recently purchased some SRR rear lower control arms, rear sway bar and tie bar for my EK4. However when trying to replace the 10mm bolts for the rear lower arm that attach to the subframe i notice that they are slightly too short. I was wondering is it possible to just replace this original bolt with a longer high tensile bolt in order for me to fit my rear sway bar/tie bar?

I've also noticed that these standard bolts are splined on the bearing surface, is there any particular reason that Honda did this? Does it matter if the replacement bolts dont have these splines?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

 

Did you ever solve this problem? I just bought the same kit, and realized that I'm going to run into the same problem. I was hoping to just replace the bolts with longer high grade bolts, but finding 10mm X 1.25 pitch bolts that long in high grade steel seems impossible!

Did you find somewhere to get these bolts? What length bolt did you end up buying? Thanks for any help!!
