Glad I read this again. I did not think it was going to get heated and I have seen much worse arguments on here than this but lets get back to the question that the original poster started which others have already answered. If you guys want to keep going back and forth on this topic just PM each other and leave it off the main forum for all to see. PM me if you have any comments question or concerns...thanks J

Use a tape measure to figure out the arm length of the lug wrench. Get a bathroom scale. Torque = arm length x force. If the arm is 1 foot...use 100 lbs of force on the scale. If the arm is 2 feet...use 50 lbs of force on the scale. etc. etc.

You might as well spring for a digital torque wrench.

Your going to need one with these cars especially for the suspension.
