Where to buy these bolts and nuts from the front sway bar?

These bolts and nuts are from the brackets holding the front sway bar (number 3 on the second picture). I've been to Home Depot and Lowes but they don't carry anything close to it. I've gone to the local auto stores and was told to try wheel studs from smaller cars? "Like from what?" I asked, "A Fiat?" Anyway, I called the dealership and was priced at $4 per bolt and $2.50 per nut! I also checked orderinfinitiparts.com but couldn't find it. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

As you can see the bottom of the bolt was stripped. It was initially hand tightened too but whateves... I have Žydrūnas Savickas arms! Lol!

If you have access to any good "Ace" hardware store, they often carry a very good selection of nuts and bolts which you can buy at a reasonable price. They also carry a very large selection of metric nuts and bolts with the same quality as OEM. I know they've helped me many times with getting just one or two bolts or nuts that would cost you an arm and a leg at a dealer or the dealer is closed and you need it now. Good luck.

I need them too! I want to know how are you going to install it? Because there is no room to put the bolt in the subframe. You know what i mean?

Ace Hardware did not carry it. Although, I was impressed they carried wheel studs that were searchable in the same fashion you would find bolts and nuts at Home Depot and Lowes. Something I wished Autozone, O'Reilly, Pepboys, etc. had... I'll be going to the dealership soon to special order these bolts and nuts. Thanks for the help guys!

I agree there is no room at all to hammer these in. But I'm going to use the diy method of installing wheel studs by way of utilizing washer/spacer and torque wrench or wrench. Watch videos below.
