Re: Lug torque question?
In response to the remark about rotor warpage, that is and has been an issue
for all carmakers for the last dozen years or so. It is important to torque
evenly and with a good pattern. I torque most everything to 100ft/lbs with
a torque stick or a torque wrench.

Somewhere between 80 and 115 ft-lbs should do it.
Figure if you set it to the middle of that range, a torque wrench off
by 17.5 pounds will still be in the range.
