I would use stainless steel rivets but the link above has good info

 

[ras55976]

its good info but any particular rivets there are like millions of differently designed rivets. which to use

You can't beat the oem rivets, far better than on the shelf rivets at fastener stores. The price is a killer but they are high quality and dealers usually have them in stock.

Once you accept the fact that anything stainless is going to be spendy, you may as well go OEM as said. At least you will have the correct rivet for the application. Your time is worth money too.

I had to do it twice this year, from my personal experiance, the dealer was cheaper,better and if u got a air riviter, use that f**ker for sure. Broke off bolts in the trailing arm mounts. Its sucks i know. Use OEM and they should be metalic slivery black. Have fun, when i did mine, i broke them down into 3 pieces. Just my two sence.

3/16 SS (or aluminum) pop rivets, probably a 1/4" grip range would be fine. I have used SS and AL rivets, AL hold good enough and are easier to remove if necessary.
