Stillen FSTB Torque

On the instructions in the How-To section of this website (as recommended by Courtesy and other members) it says to torque the nuts to 34 ft-lbs. On the Stillen instructions I received it says to torque the tower ring nuts to 43-58 ft-lbs and the strut bar nuts to 20 ft-lbs. I was wondering what anyone's opinion who has installed a Stillen FSTB thinks. Thanks for the advice.

34-43 is ok for the tower ring nuts, I would torque the bar nuts higher (as tight as I could make them) because they will slide in the slots if not tight enough.
