I like impacts, but prefer to use hand tools...I think I just answered my own question....
I figured something out; here's what I am doing. Break the nuts and bolts loose with an impact and run the top nut off. Reinstall with hand tools, and torque to spec with a torque adapter on a torque wrench and a box end.....or whatever. For anyone that lost their manuals the torx bolts for the camber plates are 22 Nm (17 ft-lbs) and the top nut torque is in a boxed note on page 6 listing sizes M10, M12, M14, etc. The nut appears to me to be M14 and lists 50 Nm (37 ft-lbs).
