SFC problem, Help me out

I bought some BMR SFC and put them on a while back. I followed the instructions and they worked fine for a couple weeks. The problem that I keep on having is that they keep coming loose at the LCA. It makes a horrible squeak sound and when I go to tighten it. It will go away for a week or so and then make its way loose and make all sorts of noise. What is the deal and what can I do to keep them tight? I am about to take them off since they are causing more problems than they are helping. Thanks

Did you torque 'em with a torque wrench? I didn't when we put mine on, and then they loosened (especially the right rear). They haven't come loose since I torqued 'em to 72 lbs-ft. ... yet.
