torque for springs/strut bolts

does anybody know the proper torque for the bolts on the front and rear springs/struts? i'm planning to install some h&r springs and wanted to make sure that the install people torqued the bolts back on correctly.

Front
--------
Top 3 bolts should be 32-38ft lbs of torque
Bottom two on the strut should be 130-139ft lbs.

Rear
--------
Top 2 bolts should be 18-25ft lbs
Bottom bolt on the strut should be 80-94ft lbs


Your welcome

Are you sure about those bottom front strut bolts. i was under the impression, the mid-range torque spec was about 107 lbs. Did you get this from a service manual? If so, what year? Thanks....

Got this from the service manual. Got it from the 2K1, also looked at the 2K one and they are the same.
