who is using them, how much torque did you use, how long have you been using, and how much abuse.

I need to know because mine came loose like a magnum condom on a new born within 20 miles.
 
On my current setup I bought bolts from Slowboy which I think are 2g auto bolts or something. Heavy duty Loc-tite was used and about 100ft/lbs.
I have used regular 1g 5spd old bolts before with a Fidanza with no issues with the Loc-tite
 
I reused my stock 1G bolts and have over 5K miles on the flywheel with zero issues. I used RED Loctite and torqued the bolts to 100ft-lb. I have a Fidanza 3.2 clutch to go with the aluminum flywheel and see 25psi on a daily basis. Your bolts were not torqued properly using red Loctite if they came loose that quickly.
 
I torqued them personally but when I had to change my clutch for an ACT I had a shop do it for me, when it came back it ran for a day or two then wouldn't start. I have everything pulled apart and just ordered the FP long bolt kit.
