I’ve been following this myself and also have the BMR kit installed. Decided to contact BMR directly to see what they had to say. I have to say I was a bit surprised by the answer. I’ve pasted the email response below for everyone (he also gives the correct part numbers for the GM bolts):
The cradle bolts and all of the trailing and control arm bolts are
torque to yield or a 1 time use fastener per GM. We designed and released
all of these parts before the service manual was available to the public,
and we never went back and checked any of this info until now. We have sold
hundreds of these kits as well as sets of arms and this is the first
instance of a failure that we know of. Our own 2016 Camaro that we designed
and tested all of these parts on has been taken apart and put back together
multiple times and still uses the original bolts. We are changing our
instructions to read that GM recommends that the bolts not be reused and
will be including the GM part numbers(Listed below). We apologize for this
inconvenience. Please let me know if you have any further questions
GM Part # 11247921 front cradle bolt quantity of 2 required
GM Part # 11611819 rear cradle bolt quantity of 2 required
