RE: sway bar hardware?
Just go to Ace Hardware and pick up some Grade 5 hardware. The bolts aren't magic, just bolts.
Do not use grade 8. They are absolutly the strongest in tension, but not so good in shear. Where a grade 5 will distort, a grade 8 will shatter.
According to carrol smith, "There is no place on a race car for a grade 8 fastner." Not sure i agree with that in every instance. But there it is.

i'm gonna go with bob's suggestion and hit up the hardware store. another ford part dept rep told me that they would have to special order the bolts and that i should just consider getting the bolts from a hardware store also. lets see what i can find.
