Torque Specs for H-Sport Comp Rear Sway Bar Bushing Brackets?

I'm going to be installing my H-Sport 25.5mm Comp Rear Sway Bar tomorrow and the instructions that came with have no torque specs at all, not even on the Hotchkis Sport Suspension website. I have all the other torque specs for everything else, sub-frame bolts, top shock mounts, lower shock mounts, end links and lug bolts. I need the specs for the torque specs on the Hotchkis bracket bushings please!

Thanks in advanced!

Systemlord.

I just did my rear sway bar the other month.
Assuming you are using stock M8 bolts to attach sway bar bracket to the rear sub-frame, torque them to 14 ft-lbs (19 Nm).

It's not much. Lots of bad stories about people stripping them out from having a gorilla arm. Just snug it down and mark the bolts with paint so you can see if they are vibrating loose.
