Alright today i'm installing new struts which ive done before, but i dont have my haynes manual with me here at college, so:
does anyone know how much i should torque the camber bolts, the 3 upper nuts that are attatched to that rounded traingle thing at the top,
and any other torque numbers you think I need would be awesome
thanks!

May be year/model specific, but for a 1995 Impreza,

3 Strut Mount to body nuts ==> 14.5 +/- 4.3 ft-lb
1 Strut top nut ==> 36 +7/-0 ft-lb
2 Lower Strut Bolts ==> 112+/- 14 ft-lb

If you disconnect the brake line from the caliper (depending on model, you may need to), that is listed as 13.0+/- 2.2 ft-lb.

That's from the factory service manuals fwiw.
