Default APR GTC-300 Riser Bolt Problem

Recently ordered the APR GTC-300 risers, which came with four bolts used for mounting. come to find out these bolts are trash, and literally seized within two rotations, and would not back off, causing my mechanics to have the break the bolts. I called Evasive, and he reported knowing of similar recent problems with APR bolts/nuts. Anyone else have this experience?

Evasive was SO COOL, and is willing to send me 4 of their own nuts/bolts to remedy the situation.

Here's the carnage after we forced them off...

I remember having issues with their bolts. I ended up replacing all of them with hex head bolts from OSH.

Same thing happened to me, luckily it happened to my very first bolt. I had to hack saw it off. I'm not even going to try to use the remaining bolts.

Definitely get another alternative set of bolts. It's not worth the heart ache.
