Default SLP Bolt-In SFC Questions

I tried searching for an answer but I didn't find one...so here it goes. I just installed a set of SLP Bolt-In SFC's and had two questions:

1) I never found a torque spec for the bolt's that are supplied with the connectors...what torque should I use? Right now they are at 75 ft-lbs w/Red Locktite, and for the bolts that were already there (ie front LCA bolt & cross brace bolts) I used the factory torque spec.

2) My drivers side SFC comes damn close to my fuel and brake lines in the front (1/16" or so), anyone else run into this? Should I worry?

Thank you in advance for any help that can be passed my way. Have a good one.

I torqued the bolt's that came with the sfc to 56 ft/lbs, as for the fuel lines I just push them back some( not much )with my fingers.

You need to trim the heat shield by the fuel lines and relocate the fuel lines up one notch in the clip.

Thank you for the replies...much appreciated. I drove my car to work today and I didn't even push it too much, but I still noticed that the chassis was a lot stiffer. Maybe it's all in my head but it seems like a completely different ride. Have a good one.
