So I was doing a routine brake job when I noticed that the bolts holding the calipers on were in bad shape. The tops of the bolts were all rounded off and I decided that Im not going to deal with them on the next brake job. Its such a PITA to remove a ruined bolt but you guys know what? Its even more of a PITA for me to buy new bolts. I dont know where to go, I tried AutoZone and Advance Autoparts with no luck or helpful direction.

Where do I get 8 new bolts to hold my calipers onto my car?
I honestly dont even know what bolt gauge, size and thread pattern I need.
Can someone help me find what I am looking for and give me some guidence as to where I could purchase the right bolts?
My car is still on jack stands and my brakes (Brembos) are just hanging around (not seriously, I laid them on some boxes so that I dont bind/stretch the SS braided lines.
Thanks in advance,
-fawcett

take your bolts out and go to either lowes or home depot and match them up with some grade 8 bolts

Or try the ford dealer. Not always the cheapest but then you know you have the right bolts. I replaced the 4 in front when I went to the cobra brakes and paid like $6 each... not cheap but these are brakes not sunvisors...

If you have stock brakes then AutoZone and Advance Autoparts does carry the parts. Ask for a brake hardware kit.
