Default Pin drive bolts splitting Help Please

Hello,

I took the Cobra out for a drive and noticed that there was a funny feeling in the rear. I turned around and pulled the tire and noticed 3 of the 5 pins drive bolt were loose.

I tried torquing the pins to 80 lbs and one of them split.

Am I torquing these things too much or are they just cheap.

These things are not cheap in price and I expect them to not split.

What are you guys using for pins and where are you getting them. I had to repurchase these from (I believe ) Trigo because the ones that came with my PS Engineering had slight splits in them.
