I love me car but if it wasnt for this forum, I would have sold it about 18 times by now. Quirks=headaches but getting asked by people in my rural town if its a Ferrari makes it so worth it.
The manual says 81ft/lbs for both I believe, but I do 85ft/lbs. Now the guys that put my new tires on felt that was wrong so one guy used way less and the other way more. Never trust a garage to get anywhere near the correct setting, do it yourself when you get home.

On my wifes car the same shop did not tighten them at all, and later my wife said the new tires were making a noise. It's a good job she did as all the nuts were finger tight at best and two nuts were a few threads short of touching at all.
