Yup 80ft/lbs total, in a staggered or cross pattern. Torquing the different lugs to different specs can warp rotors/wheels, and make it feel like your tires are imbalanced.

civicsiracer, the way i've always understood things, is that you want to try and torque everything once, all the way to redline, whatever, if you do a dual stage torqueing, the second time around you're measuring a bit of friction instead of true torque. yeah/nay?
