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.

 

Ah okay thought so, thanks. Check bernardi honda and saw the bolt. Gonna try to call my local honda dealer.

 

Yep, my receipt for my last two was $5.66 LOL SO worth it.

 

Niiice. But I should be able to find a nut for it right?

 

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...
