or if you OVER-TIGHTEN then, then yeah the bolt's going to be overstressed and snap, lol
but no I've never heard of any problems; I'm running them combined with aftermarket UCA's, and no problems

I intalled a used set and mistakenly only installed the nylock nuts. They loosened after a few months and when I re-torqued to 30 lbf-ft their little threads stripped out like they were made a cheese. I guess that's what a 12.9 bolt does to an equivalent metric grade 4 material. I replaced mine with a pair of hardened nuts (grade 10 I think) with a lock washer between them. It has held up fine.
