Default Sub frame connectors

I have a quick question.I bought umi's bolt-in subframe connectors and am installing them right now.The directions say to torque the rear bolt going into rear control arms to 72 ft lbs. What about the two in the front?Are they also 72 ft lbs?

i would think that they would give you a spec for those too in the pamphlet you get with the sfc's, if not use the same number or just do the impact like said above

Check the front ones after you drive it for a while. You want those tight and you want them to stay that way.
