You mean for the sway bar brackets? I'm sure there is a torque spec but if I remember correctly they (the brackets) just bottom out to the chassis when tight. So as long as they are tightened enough to keep from loosening they will be fine.

Hand tighten is fine, but I think it was around 20ftlbs.

Thanks, I installed Daizen sways Friday night and Sat night I started hearing this clunk on my pass side suspension/engine bay area. It reminded me of a blown shock but not quite the same clunk. I'm thinking more grease and loosen brackets.

You shouldn't need to loosen the brackets. A clunk is usually a sign of a loose bracket already, if anything I would make sure the brackets are tight and the bushings are situated correctly and not twisted.
