i was going to say use the stockers but i wasnt thinking about them breaking off (seen it happen many times). i have no part numbers for ya but i would recommend going to your local hardware or auto parts store with one of the old bolts and match them up to some new ones. i dont know of anywhere that sells just bolts for LCA's

What? Heat them up

Dude you remove the nut and then tap them out, why would you need to heat them up

I've never had any problems with the stock bolts, or seen them break. But if yours are corroded as badly as you indicate, replacement makes good sense.

(4) 12mm Grade 10.9 bolts (silver zinc plated)
(4) 12mm steel lock nuts (silver zinc plated)
(8) 12mm flat washers (silver zinc plated)

Spohn Performance sells the above kit for $10.
