Default torque arm install hardware question?

So I bought a Spohn torque arm from someone here and now have a question about the hardware needed to install it. The rear of the TA uses 2 long bolts so my question is: Will the stock long bolts work on this aftermarket TA or do I have to buy them as well(so I can order them from Spohn already)? I don't wanna wait till the 10 bolt comes off and then to find out I'm missing hardware! Someone please enlighten me! Thanks in advance!

UMI says don't use the washers with your stock bolts. if you decide 2 use the stock ones put them in from the top (threads down) and i would say atleast make sure you get a full nut!

So you're saying the stock bolts might not be long enough then for the aftermarket TA? Anybody out there use the stock long bolts for an aftermarket TA? If not so I can already order them from some vendor.
