Chris,
I seriously recommend to get these bolts from an Audi dealer. They are 
very hard, and the heads are serrated. When I was in your shoes doing my 
BBB conversion I elected to ground my car for three days and pay to the 
tune of $4/ea. rather than risking shearing the generic bolts from Sears 
Hardware under braking load.
