I'm not totally useless..

Lot of opinions in here. My manual (10/09 car) states 100ft lbs and they were at 100ft lbs the day I picked it up. Others state the manual had revisions later on showing 140...
I have split the diff and run 120 now...

Now, I realize that you may think 140 is a bit of overkill, but trust me. Torque it to the factory spec. I have watched the front wheel come off of an SUV while on the highway going 65 ish. It is not a pretty sight. Do you really want your rotor hitting the pavement at 65 mph?

Wow I didn't realize how high the torque value was on the lug for this car. My last car with race wheels was 95 Ibs.

Check the manual for your car ... The reason I say this is the revision possibly came with a change in the actual lug studs. If this is the case, doubtful but possible, you could be over torquing your lugs and risk breaking them.
