Also is it possible to use stainless bolts on these ?

As mine are rusted to hell and probably chewed up

Yes, 10.9 grade steel are better for use in the suspension.

If this Group Buy is successful we will move on to other tasty suspension bits....
Those suspension components look far too good to fit on a car.

Any possibility of something like that for the Rover600/Honda Accord lower front arms?

I would have preferred gold, but unless someone else is short or has a colour that they were not expecting, and want to make a big deal about it.....

Then it's not the end of the world

If that makes sense :?
