factory bolts are 7/16 grade 5 buy aftermarket grade 8 bolts. most aftermarket tubular control arms have 1/2" grade dolts most aftermarket 4 links and ladder bars and coilovers use 1/2" grade 8 bolts and these bolts carry the weight of the car and the high torque from drag race takeoff. you have to worry about strenghtening all the arers that these bolts fasten to. those are the weak link (factory attachment points) good luck chevy art

Dan, I just saw your post about the Don Hardy headers...I have a set, never used if you are still wanting a set. They are a little rusty in places because they come bare metal & have been sitting for a few years (about 20 :wink: ) in a cement block garage. Let me know, Lorne
