M3 control arm upgrade questsion

So I know with the front control arms on an e90 if you do the M3 control arm upgrade or just change the control arms in general you have to replace the bolts in the front. Is it the same with the rear as well? I’m about to order them and need to know. Thanks for reading :-)

The M3 control arm kit came with new hardware off FCP Euro? Or did you have to buy them separately

Hardware kit is separate and definitely worth it.

I had done the full m3 arms kit from FCP Euro a while back. I replaced all bolts and nuts for a whole refresh. I believe some of the nuts were tapered lock nuts. I'd say just change it for peace of mind.
