The consensus here a couple of years ago is that it doesn't matter
where in the range you choose, the important thing is to torque them
all the same. In other words, if one lug nut is torqued to 80, then
all should be torqued to 80. Same with 115 or any number you choose.
Back then (1999 plus or minus a year or two) there was an issue with
warped rotors that seemed to be related to lugnuts that weren't
equally torqued (especially on Grands). I've lost track though and
don't know if warped rotors are still an issue or not (hopefully DC
has improved the rotors by now).
