First Gen Camaro Suspension Hardware
Just spoke with DSE about this, seems I can't really find a good source for the proper grade/length bolts for the LCA/UCA's.
Anyone know where I might find some? Anything stainless or galvinized in the same way the DSE coil over bracket hardware is would be better than the rounded off chewed up original stuff I've got...

Stainless is to hard and brittle for suspension. Standard high grade grade 8 bolts can work. Your local GM dealer can get the correct ones for you. You can use AN stuff http://aircraft-spruce.com/

I have an unlimited budget. That bad part is I have already used it up.

I have Grade 8 stuff on my front suspension. I hope that's OK. I wasn't sure what the alternative was. I know I don't want the stock stuff because it'll just rust.

Ya, I asked this same question about 3 weeks ago and all I got was '...do a search, it's been discussed...' Well, a couple of guys pointed me too Rick's, Year One, etc.
What I really wanted to find is a chart or list of stock length and diameter of the major hardware components, this would be a big help to those of us who bought cars disassembled.
I was concerned about G8 hardware being too brittle, but I have'nt found anything to back this up, so I plan on using it.
