Torque member to hub bolt grade?

[Steve.Linn@cornerstonecontrols.com]

Yep, discovered that last night with a little searching.
The metric Grade 8.8 (which are what my Home Depot bolts are stamped with)
are a rough equivalent to an SAE Grade 5.

Great web site!
I'm still going to put OEM's back on when the dealer gets them in for me.
Last thing I need is a brake issue during an autocross or lapping day.

'92 with brakes that SHOULD work.....for now.
