u could check in a haynes manual at autozone, personally i just make my lugnuts real real tight, most mechanics dont torque em, just check them after drving around and make sure they arent lose.

well you're SUPPOSED to torque them. maybe you can find it on a search on the net. you could warp your rotor if you don't torque it to spec.

The Civic has a torque of 80 ft/lbs. You should do it while the car is on the ground. Then drive around real quick then re-torque the lugs. Never ever overtighten or try to guess at the torque on your lugs. You're asking for stripped studs, seized lugs, warper rotors and more stress on your hubs.
