replacing bolts

[zandi]

stupid question, where can i get nuts and bolts from to replace them on my car when im doing the suspension or anything else?

Most hardware stores will have a decent selection of metic hardware. I have a local Fastenal that I like to get hardware from.

Just make sure it meets or exceeds the factory grade. Generally 8.8 or better.

I always get mine from the dealership. Maybe my hardware stores suck around here, but all of the hardware I can find at Lowe's and Sears Hardware rusts. 18 winters and the factory hardware comes out of the car like new, so why change I figure.
