As the tongue twisting title suggests, what torque would you all recommend for the LG Motorsports C5 adapter bracket bolts (the ones that bolt the LG brackets to the spindle)?
I know the torque spec is 74 lb ft for the F-body abutment bracket bolts. It's around 125 lb ft for the Corvette bracket bolts (I think this is a 14 mm bolt though, as compared to the 12 mm for the F-body). Would something around the F-body spec of 74 lb ft be best? Not really sure here, just want to do what's best.

I would torque the bolt to it's assigned value for its given size unless it's a specialty bolt like a torque to yield etc.
The bolt does not know where it's at only that it requires a certain torque value to properly clamp.
