Where to get stainless rear shock hardware?
I'm tired of the torx bit upper shock bolt and want to replace the upper bolt with a stainless one that I can use a socket on and replace the bottom so they both match. Is there a good place to order these and what sizes will I need?

If you were in the US, Ace is the place. Maybe these guys have what you want. http://www.chromebolt.com/

I go to Lowe's. They have a huge selection of stainless hardware in there drawers. I do wonder though, aren't shock bolts supposed to be like grade 8 or something. I'm just mentioning it and I really don't know the answer. I only mention it because when I put my lowering blocks on, I only bought grade 8 hardware due to that concern. I'm pretty sure stainless isn't that duty grade.

SS bolts are a low carbon steel, generally speaking slightly stronger than Grade 2, so I would not use them in this application.

SS is just slightly stronger than grade 2. Grade 5 is approx 40% stronger than grade 2 and grade 8 is stronger yet. SAE grade 8 is equal to metric 10.8 as SAE grade 5 is equal to metric 8.8. Grade 5 usually has 3 slash marks on the hex head while grade 8 has 6 marks on the hex head. I would use grade 8 in this use.
