If your that worried about it, they make zinc coated steel bolt kits. Same steel bolts but zinc coated so they wont rust, but are just as shiny as stainless.

Oh yes, steel has flex, stainless is tough but has no torsional strength...it breaks as its flexing.Originally posted by Ru5h1n6

They are cheaper than the SS, but like I said, they are regular steel but zinc coated so its still rust proof and have the flexibilty of steel.
