Default Bolts for rear KYB shocks

I just bought a set of KYB AGX adjustable shocks for the rears off a member on here. The stock DeCarbon shocks have bolts seized into the shock and I need to know the size of the bolts or where I can get the hardware to install the new KYB's correctly. The stock bolts look like they almost have a spacer built into them so I want to make sure they are installed correctly and not crooked or at a bad angle.

If somebody could help me out with that I'd appreciate it.

Does anyone know if I have to contact KYB directly or are there bolts I can just go and buy from a parts store?

The rear shocks should have come with the hardware to install them. If you do not have it with the shock then whoever sold them to you must have not given them to you. I would call Kyb directly, I am sure you can get the hardware from them. They should have a lock washer and nut on the end that bolts up on the hanger on the rear, and then on the face there is a washer, lock washer and another nut. I can try to take a picture for you later if you want

I just used a bolt that fit the opening of the shock and was a little longer than what I needed. Then bought some grade 8 washers and spaced the bolt out how it was on the stock decarbons.

I think as long as you get the shock spaced out with the washers, you should be fine.
