RE: Shine anti-sway bar, anyone? because...

["Aaron Ness" <aaron@makuta.com>]

Do you realize that if you use grade 8 bolts you will need both standard (or
is that substandard?) and metric tools to work on your car, making it right
on par with an AMC?

Class 10.9 is the metric equivalent of grade 8 and actually has a marginally
higher proof load.  Do your part to support the metric system. ;-)
