Honestly grade 8 hardware is pretty expensive. Most bolts will be about 2.50, and the nuts will be about 2. So their prices are pretty dead on. You really want to cheap out with key bolts in your suspension? Nothing like having your track bar bolt shear off going 80 down the highway. Is your life only worth the $20 you'll save?

that would be nice but stainless is bad about galding up especially if you use an impact. i would like to find powder coated grade 8 bolts.

Exactly! I went to Fastenal and they did not have stover nuts; just regular ones at the time. I did not want to use locking washers so I ordered the Northridge kit.
