Arrow Cusco 3 Piece Chassis Bars

I just got my Cusco 3 piece chassis bars in and was wondering about the installation. It came with instructions, buut they were written completely in japanese, with the exception of "This product is designed for use in japan only. It must not be used in any other country." So basically the instructions were completely useless. lol It only came with 2 bolts and 2 nuts, which I'm assuming you use to attach the 3 bars together. My question is, are there pre-existing bolts under the car that I will need to unbolt and bolt back on to attach the bars to the bottom of the car? Or will I need to go out and get new bolts? And if so what size bolt do I get?

I also got the Cusco U front lower tie bar and it only came with 1 bolt. So I'll need 2 or 4 more bolts unless they are already down there and I'm supposed to use them. If you know, please let me know. I plan on installing this myself on Friday. Any installation instructions or close up pics you have on either one would be helpful.

Here's the only close up pic I've found so far...

I reused all the existing bolts when I installed my 3 piece bars. its pretty straight forward if you mock it up under the car. Make sure you re torque all the bolts back to spec.

if it didn't come with the bolts (not screws ), i'd think you reuse the ones already in the holes you bolt it in to

lol i wonder if putting the instructions in Japanese only and saying "This product is designed for use in Japan only. It must not be used in any other country," is their way of trying to isolate their tuning scene from ours?

The warning is to keep US engineers from critiquing the design...

For the U-Brace, you will reuse existing bolts. Only that tiny metal colored one is new. I think you remove the old OEM one. Jack the car up as high as possible, you will see how it bolts up.

For the Floor bars, you will again reuse existing bolts. Assemble the 3 bars together loosely. Again jack the car up high. The OEM bolts you reuse are really long, so you will be unscrewing for a while. Get all 4 bolts of the 3 bars attached before you bolt it all down. It'll line it up better. Then tighten everything down to spec. Good luck.
