You should probably be able to reuse them, otherwise try this one: 90173-TV8-E00
It's the same size and length bolt but for a Civic.

[LEFT]I ordered the powerflex compliance bush bolts, they are stainless so they won't seize again either.
The front bolts were seized on mine to so I had to cut them out, I ordered mine through hendy performance who is a dealer on here in the UK

Stainless bolts are probably not strong enough for suspension use.

Are they PH style stainless? Or...?

Are you sure they're stainless?

I think (and hope) it's just the outside collar that is stainless steel, the bolt looks yellow chromated.
Stock hardware is fine though as long as you use some weatherproofed grease or anti seize.
