I was lucky enough to get one of the last few sets and the quality was superb but since then when I have ordered for other projects, I've never received anything. Check it out for yourself and look up recent reviews.
Glad I was told that before I ordered. Thanks for the headsup!

I'm able to buy electronic components through my work at substantial discounts for personal projects, maybe you could do the same with bolts.
Yeah, but not all bolts are made equal. Have been talking to one of the guys I work with, he said that all of the bolts he used on his project chevelle were factory steel bolts and he got them anodised. Might have to get a price off Nissan.

We got every S-chassis bolt that Baller Bolts sold, even bellhousing bolts, titanium suspension front and rear, steering wheel bolts and they were amazing. Its unfortunate that they aren't around anymore and I've tried to find out who they sourced them from since they were not made in house and were more of a wholesaler.
Bummer. I really need all of the specs to do that myself. Might try and find a service manual in English that has them listed before I do anything else.
