I have recently removed and redone the complete rear suspension on my 69 vette, and i want to replac all the bolts. Does anyone know what grade the spring bolts and all are?

What about higher grade and aerospace quality fasteners? Where would these go to good use, and where would they be a waste?

I've heard of grade 8 spring bolts breaking, surely in some racing applications they are not overkill? I'm in the planning stages of putting 600HP to the ground, so it may be more relevent to me than anyone restoring to near-stock. ;)
