i never torqued them, if they are tight they are tight
Tight with a little locktite...
Off the top of my head....
The 2 top mount nuts are 36 ft/lbs
The front fork pinch bolt is 32 ft/lbs
The bottom LCA bolts for front are 47 ft/lbs.
The bottom LCA bolts for the rear are 40 ft/lbs
Remember to load the suspension before fully torquing every bolt down to spec. Otherwise you'll have binding issues with the bushings and your bushings will prematurely wear.

hahaha wow now thats an answer
The car doesn't have to be on the ground, it could be on ramps. Or jacked up and placed of blocks of wood. Or you could take measurements, place the car on jack stands and jack the wheel up to load the suspension then tq. However it's done, loading the suspension to its normal static state and torquing to spec is the right way to do it.
Ok thanks I was able to torque my was setup because the car wasn't lowered and I'm small enough to fit under the car but next time around I might run into issues unless I raise the coils high enough to get under there then lower the car afterwards.
Well u can always have the car on stands and put a jack on the hub and put pressure on it, thats how i get my upper ball joint to tighten also
