So that's 73.75-81.12 ft-lb

Pretty low towque for bolts. I know studs usually in the 75ft-lb range.

I actually read a TSB from MItsu stating that 74 ft-lbs is the correct torque spec. It has to do with prevention or rotor warpage.

Is 74 ft-lbs the answer? That sounds typical as my last two cars had specs of 75 ft-lbs. Like superz said, gotta get it right to help prolong/prevent rotor warpage.

It's in the owner's manual, near the back. The page before the table with all the engine specs on it. I think it is 74 if memory serves me correctly.

depends on the bolt...

12mm 65 to 70 ft-lbs
14mm 75 to 85 ft-lbs

beleive we have 14mm bolts so, 75-85...
unless the manual does say 74 specifically ??? someone check.
