i just went to the hardware store with the factory bolts in hand and matched em up with some grade 5 or 8 stuff. you may or may not find exact metric bolts, but you can get standard threads and the same length bolt at least. i know the k member took standard threads on mine. dunno about the control arms.

Grade 8 stuff at the small Ace and True value stores. They usually have people in there that can match up what you need in a second. Takes 10 times longer to find the same stuf at depot (if they have it).

I am not aware that ARP makes suspension bolts. Grade 8 is more than enough.

i bought a 4cly roller, are the bolts the same in a 4cly compared to an 8? should i change the bolts b/c i am putting an 8 cly in it?

As long as everything is in good shape, you are in no danger of having anything break because you add the weight of a V8.

+ at my Ace hardware store, the bolts are right next to the beer
