They are XZN bolts, but there are 2 types.  Long and thin or short and fat.

Mate had a J&R one and it didnt last.

Im running a AMK one now (or was) and it was holding up fine, had minimal play in it which is expected but held up to 275lbft torque well enough under the abuse it got!

mines been on for over 10k now with no problems (touch wood) and my cars lowered quite a bit and got over 300lbft of torque. Luck of the draw I guess. Cost 60 quid too
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Vw charge mega bucks.
If you can wait a couple days try j&r drive shafts on eBay. A few of us on here run them with no problems
