I used the same ones on mine. I didn't use any locktite when I installed them, and the fasteners seemed to bite hard. I've checked them a couple of times since, and they're still locked down solid.

Nice to have, but Geezz, that $90 could be better used on real upgrades. I simply use a slab of thick rubber on the floor jack to lift the car at the pinch welds.

I bought them after my tire shop dinged the pinch weld. You can see it on the left side of the block in my picture. He's very careful, but it still happened. I've since tapped it back in place and touched it up, but now I can just tell them to use the lift points.

To be honest, most of the things I spent money on were completely unnecessary and were just cosmetic. At least these actually serve a purpose.
