I just went to Brofasco and requested the strongest ones they could give me.

However, I would only recommend a 10.8 headstamp.

With regards to washers, I added 3 to each bolt. However, if I were to do this again, I would go back and use two thicker ones instead. The reason being that the less number of pieces, the less chance of anything moving.

After my alignment, the rear camber was 1.71 and 1.70 degrees at the rear, so that tells me I did a good job of A) installing them and B) lowering my car evenly with the coilovers and it also tells me my car is straight.

EDIT: Make that -1.71 and -1.70 degrees in the rear. Oops.

what grade did brofasco give you?

you can wait for your higher grade bolts but the 8.8 ones worked just fine... they're not crazy load bearing or anything...

they've been riding on the car going on 3 yrs now and still workin fine...

The whole reason that they are a minimum of grade nine is that when you get in an accident is that you don't lose your suspension grade 9 is ment to bend not snap....

it is 8.8 on purupose so that you don't use it in a car sure it'll hold it together when you are driving down the road but when you get hit by that f-150 and your link breaks you will be in hella lot of trouble you will be lucky if your insurance covers you.

it's good that honda uses a 10.8 and i wouldn't use anything less

not trying to give anyone **** but there is a reason why they are 10.8 not because of load bearing in a corner but if you get hit by that truck

can any one tell me where I can get the 10.8 grade M10x1.5x40mm bolts in Mississauga area? CT & Brafasco dont have em....

I just went to Rona, CT, Home Depot, and Brafasco and none of them have the bolts. Can anyone tell me where else I may be able to pick some up? Thanks.

CURIOUS 06-Jul-2009 01:53 PM

Does anyone have some extra bolts lying around I've been looking all over and can't find ones that are 10.8 grade? Thanks.

Try bolts plus (bolts+) or something it is across from the Woodbine GM dealer when you get off the 427N onto 27N. I got 10.8 grade nusts and bolts there. When i drive by today I will get the ecact cross streets.

gavin.p89 07-Jul-2009 03:28 PM

They are at hwy 27 and Belfeild rd.

north west corner

CURIOUS 07-Jul-2009 04:19 PM

Hey Gavin, I just gave them a call and they said that the highest grade they carry is 8.8 and they don't even have bolts with fine thread like this one. Damn I don't know where else to get this size bolt I tried everywherrrreee.

gavin.p89 08-Jul-2009 08:43 AM

Sorry about that. I figured they would, I have bought 10.8 grade bolts there before, but it was for suspension on my GM (winter beater).

Best of luck :)

Did this trick today. Worked great! I got my hardware from Facca Fasteners in London. 4 bolts and 8 washers,10.9 grade, 6 bucks and change.

Are the threads Fine or Coarse?
