well, for the sake of not warping brake rotors....somewhere between 80 and 100 ft/lbs will work well.

Every race car I have ever drove has always had them torqued to 90 Ft Lbs.
I have transferred that over to every street car in my driveway.
Can't go wrong with 90.

Just take it somewhere to get it done beacause if something goes wrong, then you have someone to blame.
