Default header install ?

Having my headers installed and wondering if i should re-use my header bolts 0r Buy new ones from GM or buy stage 8. Next winter, money permiting, im planning on doing a H/c swap. So i was going to wait till then to put the stage 8's on or would now be the time. The only issue now is money but if its worth a headache down the road ill get it done.
thanks for the help

My Pacesetter's came with new header bolts... they're 11mm instead of 10mm like stock ones. I just used them, haven't had a problem out of them yet

I reused the stock ones with my Jet Hots even though they sent new ones. Tightened them down once during the intstall and I've never had to touch them since. No leaks at all.

I used the bolts that cam with the Hooker LT's and they were too short. I ended up reusing the stock bolts and they worked fine. I have since upgraded to the QTP's and when with the Stage 8's for ***** and grins.
