They are definitely TTY bolts. According to my Bentley manual stage one is 56 nm (41 ft-lbs) and stage two is +90 degrees.

I haven't replaced them yet but want to now that they have been on and off probably 4 or 5 times over the life of my car.

Stiffener plate bolts are tty, I am referring to the subframe bolts, one of which I had to drill out. Some folks say they are tty but some say they aren’t.
However torque procedure is the same as stiffener plate bolts, if I recall, the subframe bolts are 100nm + 90° so that tells me that they are tty.
Regarding the stiffener plate bolts, yeah, I reckon mine are due to be changed too, but I’m sure that can wait for another day haha.
