Default LCA install question

I am getting ready to install my cobra control arms. I do not want to reuse the stock bolts and was looking at two sets. I see they fit my car, but was looking at some opinions of these, or if they are what I am looking for.

i dont really see a reason to replace them, but if you really want to i'd just go to your local dealer. The ones listed aren't really an 'upgrade'.

I know the Haynes manual says to replace them but most shops I asked about it said not to unless they are rusted or in bad shape.
