Unless others start confirming they've had no slippage at the 114 ft-lb factory torque spec (the other guy is at 130 ft-lbs) in a slotted hole, you can say it's a 100% failure rate (1/1). There may be other factors unique to my case: material properties of my ST coilover housings and I've reused the hub knuckle-to-strut nuts 3 times (stock springs>STI springs>Sportlines>ST coilovers) and replaced them with new nuts only recently when I reverted to stock 16mm bolts.

That said, there are ways to make the 14mm OEM camber bolt work better as I've listed in my previous post.
