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.

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...

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

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.

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.
