Default How important are oem torque specs?

Hey guys just wondering how important the oem torque specs are when doing suspension work. I want to install my yellows so I was just wondering if I should go out and spend the money on a good torque wrench, thanks!

If you plan to do a lot of mechanic'ing, a torque wrench is always a good investment. But for the suspension, german specs are good enough.

I would worry about the torque specs when it comes to drive train, motor & mounts, and timing. When it comes to the suspension, I just tighten everything as solid as I can.

Works out fine.

I use torque wrench all the time because I usually overtighten every bolt.
