I got my JBX inserts in so I was going to get them installed. I tried searching for this but nothing came up. Are these one-time use bolts or can they be used again? I found some from HSF and Steeda but do I really need to upgrade them?

You can reuse them but do you want to? They are not torque to yield fasteners so you can use them again. However, if they were ever overtorqued or undertorqued they could be damaged or bent. When I replaced the rear subframe with a two bolt, the original bolt was bent significantly. I replaced them just for peace of mind.

I decided to buy new ones. They are not that expensive for the peace of mind.
