Torque specs are in the FSM located in the FAQ.

Better yet, let me give you a freebie:

Get your car an alignment when you're done.

i got the front done! i am having a problem with the rear. I am having trouble removing the top strut nut in the rear. Any suggestions in removing them? When i try to unscrew it, the strut moves along with it. So it is almost impossible to take it out.

I think you're trying to remove the wrong nut... There are two nuts holding the whole strut/spring system on the car, remove those, not the one in the middle.
