camber washer trick bolts

Does anyone know where I can pick up some M10 X 1.25mm X 40mm bolts grade 10.8 that I can use to do the camber washer trick? I've been trying to get some for the past few weeks went to Rona, CT, Brafasco, Bolts Plus, etc....none of them seem to have grade 10.8. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have yiu tried Lows? My dad was there and he mentioned to me that there was almost a whole all for car fastners, they have everything broken into sections by manufacture.

Best of luck!

I used my old bolts and they were long enough.
I dropped the car 2" and used 3 washers on each side. It did the job.

hmmm alright thanks I guess I have no other choice I'll just use two washers on each side and try using the same bolts since I can't seem to find the these 10.8 grade bolts anywhere.

It is not 10.8, but 10.9 grade

You need to buy them at a distributor of bolt...

I ended up using the original bolts and put two washers for each bolt....torqued them to 29ft lbs and it seems to be fine....might need to add an extra washer but the camber has definitely improved!.....now just need to replace my ball joints and get an alignment...any suggestions on shops that do good work?

should not need new bolts. I do alignments all day long on these things and never needed new/longer bolts.
