Default Lightweight Aluminum Type-R Lower Control Arms, Has anyone used them On their R?

I'm having some issues with the rear sus and would like to know if anyone is using Lightweight Aluminum Lower Control Arms ( those billet ones)

If you are, could you post up your thoughts on them?

Thanks.

Are all your suspension bolts torqued properly? Especially the upper shock hat bolts?

to be honest...

the dealer a while ago had replaced the rear sus (most of it) due to the sound I still hear, So I don't know if the bolts/nuts are properly Trq down but I'm sure they are not falling off

Are you?

Get a helms and a torque wrench and go have some fun. I did this before I put my car on track. Every suspension and brake bolt was tested. Gues what? I found a few loose.
