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?

This is the way I do things:
- Make sure each lug has some anti-seize in it. I put some on every year. Makes engagement of the threads smoother.
- Put the lugs on by hand maybe 1-2 turns.
- break out the cordless drill get everything on.
- torque everything down with torque wrench to 80ft/lbs
- roll car back and forth about 3-5 times.
- retorque the lugs once more.
