While I don't have the shop manual yet, I can safely say the following based on my experiences on Hondas and other cars:

* 17mm control arm bolts are usually around 45-50 lb.ft.

* 14mm control arm bolts are usually 40-42 lb.ft.

* 17mm caliper bracket bolts are pretty much what the wheels require 80-82 ft.lb.

*14mm shock and strut upper strut bolts are usually 35-38 ft.lb.

* Front strut bolts (mounting to the hub) are around 70-72 ft.lb.

* Any misc. 12mm bolts, like brake lines, brackets, etc. are usually ok with hand power.
