Just a quick one chaps, what grade bolts do you recommend for cages? 8.8's do or do i need the next ones up?

I'm going to plate the mounts either side to be safe aswell, 3mm thick should do the job shouldn't it? any thicker might be an arse to bend to the shape of the rear arches i'd have thought.

M8 8.8 is is specified in the blue book. But most people (including me) use M10 8.8.
