who cares. torque em down as tight as you can but not tight enough that you wouldent be able to get the lugs back off in an emergency..

Even dealerships dont follow the manufacturers guideline. hell half the techs at the last dealer I worked out just went at them with the impact (usually way too tight)

you know what.. forget it.. if you're asking this question dont touch your car, bring it to a shop and be safe.

would have been less effort to just give the guy a straight answer

I torque all 3 sets of my wheels to 100

Lol thanks, 100 it is, reason I asked is because I just bought another set of 1,000 Baer eradispeed front and rear rotors and don't want to mess them up.

Yeah, 100 is the manufacturers spec.

Don't know why the first response was necessary....just because most shops don't follow spec doesn't mean you shouldn't.

Pretty dumb response really. Tells him the shops are garbage and don't torque them right, then tells him to forget it and bring it to a shop.
