If you think I've put common grade 2 stainless bolts in my suspension then I challenge you to actually find a common grade 2 bolt that fits. I had to hit the airport boys just to find a supplier and the grade is A5. That bolt length and head only comes in A5 in my neck of the woods.

I torqued to 35lbft and went through a couple drill bits making a lockwire hole for the head.
