Default Strut Bar Install Question??

I have a 98 Integra RS and i bought a strut bar today and i found out that i do not have bolts on my car chassis to install the strut bar. Is this only on RS integras?? Because the strut bar doesnt come with bolts for the installing, all that is in the spot to install the strut is rubber pieces plugging the hole. Is it just the RS that do not have bolts and where would i go about getting the bolts to fit?? Thanks!

integras dont fit like that though I THINK. They dont use the strut bolts because the strut bar installs on the chassis not the strut/bolts?? Unless im misunderstanding your answer.

acura doesn't sell the studs. The come welded on from the factory. They told me to just pick up some washers, nuts and bolts and that should work fine!
