from my memory(which may or may not be correct)

wheel lugs are torqued at 80lbs.
caliper bolts 125lbs

Thank you Justnspace. the 80 lb. torque on lug nuts seem right, but caliper frame bolts seem high for a little car. my F150 is 136 ft. lbs. But thank you for your feed back.

I have aluminium calipers on my 2006 TL and I thought that value was pretty high, but in the service manual it states...125ft -lbs
and aluminium is soft!!

either way, I think we are in the range tho...

I dont know about pre mmc ilx but for 2016 model..

Front caliper: mounting bolts (80 ft-lbs) and guide pin bolts (37 ft-lbs)
Rear caliper: mounting bolts (55 ft-lbs) and guide pin bolts (17 ft-lbs)

rear caliper should be the same but the 2016 ilx has a bigger front caliper. So around 75 - 77 ft-lbs should work
