Default Torque specs on civic sway bar

I got a 98' GSR sway bar (14MM) and the brackets that came with it. I realized that the GSR brackets won't fit with my 00' civic ex, so I bought the SI brackets and all the neccessary bolts, but I couldn't find any information on how much I should torque on "1" and "2". Any ideas?

If it fits, and just bolts to the subframe or something, tighten them until they're tight. If you're paranoid, use a little loc-tite.

We're not talking about a race car here, we're talking about a Honda Civic. I guess over all the years I've been just tightening STAB links and mounts with a 3/8" impact gun, regular wrench, or ratchet, I've been wrong.

The fact that I've never had one come back loose after I've done it is unrelated too, right?

The point here is getting it done right not half ***.

so the rear LCA's your using have holes for the sway bar? or are you just using your stock civic rear LCA's?
