i buy them by the pound have a TSC not far from the shop .i do not wast time cleaning up old bolts less a old oem restore deal .i use the 8s they have a neat gold dip coating .looks good on a new engine build and use them around on the shop . but were i stop.. i will not use there bulk bolts is were you going to bet you life on them. there trace ability is qustionable at best. i have seen them fail before they reach TQ for the grade fastener they are . i buy bolt that have trace ability and class fastener for any thing that going to hold parts on that you do not want to fall off like a lower controle arm
