My experience is the 8.8 bolts are good enough. Nothing ever happend. Stronger bolts could break more easely, the 8.8 should bend. In theory, lol.

Just want to confirm that the bolts that have broken did not come from me did they?

No dai , my dad got them. there 8.8 grade but keep stretching and becoming loose.. ...
But if you'd like to send me 8 for free(i'll say they did) lol..
Cheers..

i got mine from a local bolt shop might worth looking to see if theres one around your and deffo go for high tensile ive hit curbs pretty hard and mine have not stretched snapped or anything and it gets abused lol

[kds19]

yeah mine are stretching just from the wieght of the car i think
well i tightened them up and didnt drive the car for 2 days then when i got in it they were loose and rattling again

funny; i technically have 3" drop and run 8.8 tensile bolts wich have never come loose! and besides that 8.8 is indeed strong enough.

are you sure you got the bolts up to correct torque?

i running a 3" drop i wouldnt trust not tensile but thats just me
