The bolts that came with the sway bar are a 5/16-18, the holes in the car are M8-1 (If I am correct). Can I just get M8-1 bolts and bolt on sway bar instead of using ones that came with kit.

Also the rear backing plate it looks like blox wants me to reinfore the rear subframe is flat instead of contoured to fit the subrame. To use it I would have to remove the lower inner nut on the subframe and drill out the center of the upper nut and use a longer bolt. Is this what you guys do? Thanks

any help from someone to install a blox sway bar on a 95 dx coupe would be great

I find it hard to believe they would give you standard bolts with your kit on a japanese car... but if they did, yes just replace them with the same length M8.

 

they gave nuts with the standard bolts. I think it was their intent for you to remove and replace the factory weldnuts with the standard and attempt to use their brace that doesn't really fit. Read rumors about the factory weldnuts pulling out. the funny thing is that a 5/16-18 bolt is very close to an M8x1 (I have a bolt gauge). Since they went to standard I thought they would at least use a larger bolt like a 3/8 bolt but oh well. Just wanted to know what other people who installed the blox sway bar have done

 

go to home depo or lowes get proper metric bolt and lengh..
