Well those bolts come coated, to prevent rust during storage and shipping. Just because you cannot hand-tighten them, doesn't mean anything.

the kit comes with locking nuts that have crimped threads in the nut that will bite in to the bolt threads so they wont back out

You have to crank the camber kit bolts down more because you want them to stay put. So if you're using stock bolts, use the Honda spec, if you're using the camber kit, use the ingalls spec.
