Standard Torq spec for (10.9 class) 12mm dia bolts is 135NM or 99FTLB
That being said I wouldn't go above 50FTLB on the upper or lower as your working on a single shear in both upper and lower. (Smoking the torq to 99FTLB will not make it stronger and you may end up with a 2 piece bolt.)

On the bottom attachment, cleaning the bolt and bore with Elec Contact, or Carb Cleaner and allowing to dry, then applying Blue 242 lok-tite is advisable.
