HT as far as I know, get HT anyway and you'll be safe.

As Stinky said, DEFINATELY use high tensile steel bolts on any steering or braking components.

You'll probably find that an engineer may even knock back a car presented for engineering certificate if mild steel bolts are used for any of these vehicle systems, if he goes to the trouble of looking.
