Default Are new flywheel bolts required when changing flywheel?

I've got a new Exedy blue box clutch and a new OEM flywheel to have fitted to my MY97 Turbo 2000 soon.

Can anyone advise if the flywheel bolts are reusable of it they should be replaced with new? I've read that some cars use stretch bolts for the flywheel, but couldn't find a definitive answer for the Impreza. Replacements aren't expensive, but I don't want to buy them just for the sake of it if they're not needed!

So you're saying they should be always be replaced then?

It's not a case of being cheap - if they need to be replaced, then I'll replace them!
