Replace front sway bar bolts with studs/nuts
Has anyone gone about replacing the stock TTY front sway bar mount bolts with studs/nuts? If so, where did you source it? And if you happen to know, what's the diameter/pitch used? Thanks!

On a street car what would be the need of wasting the money & time on this. Now head & main stud & header studs yes but this is a waste to me.. Robert

You planning on changing the bar a lot, are ya? There's no other reason, as others have correctly noted. 
But, do it if you wish. If so, I recommend McMaster-Carr as your source.
Btw, the stock bolts are 8 x 40 mm (1.25 pitch)
And, as for "...obvious reasons..." all I can say is that there is no shortage of people online (and, dare I suggest... even here) who do things for goofy reasons, or ask such. I suspect those of us who respond meant no disrespect to you, but asking for basis info like bolt-size and purchase sources suggested--at least to me--that you were asking out-of-the-blue, so to speak. My apologies.

Same reason as other places like UCA being replaced by studs (eg. AMT).
1) Testing different bars for people that race
2) Eliminating potential failed TTY bolt that would be both dangerous and a PITA trying to retrieve
Fairly obvious reasons for the ones who fail to see them.
