Can you get high tensile bolts in stainless anyway?
Wouldn't bother with anything other than the correct grade of tensile on disc bolts, wouldn't want to play russian roulette while grabbing the anchors at 90 mile an hour and finding that the discs have stopped spinning but the wheel hasn't because the bolts have sheared off.

Dont think you can and yes stainless has less strength than high tensile steel. That said I've seen many bikes with SS disc bolts but never heard of one breaking?
