Skunk2 Coilover help!
Hit a road block installing these. Rear lower shock mount bolt area stripped, the frame part, so I managed to dremel off the built on nut on the other side to just throw in a longer bolt & nut.
Found some zinc/steel nut and bolts at Home Depot but the guy there told me he wouldn't recommend them for automotive.. Gonna check out Ace Hardware tomorrow morning.
Is there a certain strength I should look for in the bolts?

GO to a Honda dealer and get the real replacement bolts for like $5 and buy an appropriate metric tap for the hole, a whole kit can be like $35. That would be the right way to fix it. Grade 8, which is the highest grade available at a hardware store, MIGHT be OK. But Fixing it the right way will always be better than OK.

should be a standard metric thread... Also my Pro C's were a bit thinner on bottom than the shock mount. I added a pair of washers per side to make sure there was no slop. Check the fitment and clearance on your while you are there! A Nylock or other locking nut may not be a bad idea either...
