Anyone know spring bolt sizes?

When the weather clears up and warms a little I want to put my new rear springs on. When I do, I want to use new bolts. Does anyone know what size and length bolt to use for the top and bottom mounts on a coilspring rear??

I guess everyone reuses the old ones or just orders them out of the catalogs. They should be grade 8, right? Also, new spring clamps or just clean up and reuse the old ones? When I get around to it I'll try to take pictures & post them.
