Default Bolt ?

I was all set to buy a set from AlloyBoltz
http://alloyboltz.com/catalog/produc...oducts_id=1787 for $155 Then I see they have a kit
http://alloyboltz.com/catalog/produc...oducts_id=1787
For $241 that are grade 8 does it make a different is there a big difference or is it for the perfectionist. Hate to buy expensive if I don't have to.
Thanks

Grade 8 are much higher tensile strength. You dont need grade 8 for holding on the covers (timer, primary, rockers) but grade 8 would be a good idea for structural bolts eg engine to transmission.
