Fronts are 30 foot pounds plus 90 degrees.... If they are the same as the 5th Gen. I looked but couldn't find the specs for ours.

The flyer for the brake duct kit from GM says 148 lbs. I installed them today. It wasn't easy to get a good angle on the bolt to hit the 148lbs. 148 seems like alot of force, but thats what the flyer says.

Thanks Locktyght, NCSD, and Mbar for the correct info. It really pi$$es me off that the 2016 Camaro service manuals will not be out until 12/12/2016.
