From the installuniversity website:
Update: Newer manuals suggest using 80 ft-lb so we have updated the following paragraph to reflect those changes. We are leaving the above paragraph like it is for comparison purposes. We also suggest using locktite as more and more people seem to have nuts backing off of the bolts.
We simply tightened the bolt head to 80 ft-lb while one of us held a wrench on the nut. Then we swapped and tightened the nut to 60 ft-lb while one of us held a wrench on the bolt head. Don’t forget to do bolts on both ends.

I always use nyloc nuts and tighten them till there is barely any drag against the bushings. 80ftlbs will smash the bushing and pin the arm in the mount and restrict movement. You don't want the arms binding in the mounts if you are doing any kindof racing.
