M3 Front Strut Bar mount stud missing. What's the Length and size?

I bought a set of used strut bar from a donor M3, but it is missing the studs.

It should be M8 as I tried with a M8 bolt, but not sure about the length. RealOEM doesn't have this individual bolt for sale, so I need to grab it off from hardware store?

Are they 25mm or 30mm?

if you have the other side for M3 brace why not just measure the studs on that one?

All 4 studs were missing. I put the an M8 bolt into the threaded hole and tested OK.
But I measured the overall thickness of both strut bar parts + thickness of nut are about 27mm... i guess 30mm should be OK
