ok the price through a dealership is $85 for 4 short bolts/nuts and 4 long bolts/nuts...this is kinda insane considering I could use that money afterwards for an allignment!! is this what you guys paid too for new bolts? or do I have an alternative? Im not reusing the ones I have, those are like completely gone..suggestions?

Get one of each for reference sake(long and short bolts) and go to a bolt/nut supply specialty shop. Get atleast grade 8 hardware or whatever the OEM stuff is. I bet you can get what you need for about $10 or less.

i tried this, the suspension bolts are a grade 10 iirc and they have a special plating on them which you most likely will not be able to find, I looked in a bolt/nut store
I got two of the smaller bolts and nuts from Bill and they no where that expensive ...

Call bill and get them all from him. Don't screw around with inferior hardware in this app. By the time you find the right bolt from Fastenal or McMaster-Carr, get it shipped, cut the extra threads, etc., it's probably not worth the hassle.

Even from Bill they are not enexpensive. As I recall one of the 12mm diameter bolts was about 14 bucks  I think the total was somewhere near 50 bucks for the nuts and bolts I ordered.

Price must have gone up recently. I ordered mine from Bill last friday also, and it did come to $88 shipped.
