Lower control arms

Wondering if the bolts for the lower control arms in the rear of the car are anything special? I see Hawks Motorsports has a set but it looks like regular bolts with a flange nut. Could a guy just get some stainless or grade 8 bolts form the hardware store instead? Nothing against Hawks but I don't want to pay for shipping something I could get locally.

They are 12mm grade 10.9 with a length of 90mm. Make sure you get the grade 10.9 nuts as well.
