Just a ~1500 mile follow-up: It's been a couple months and the springs have been great. A couple weeks ago, I did notice a slight clunking noise from the front driver's side when coming out of my driveway and when going over slow speed bumpy turns or dips in the road. I thought it might have been my front swaybar bushings needing lube, but I took a shot and ordered the proper strut nut socket to try that first. I used that to properly torque that driver's side to 60 Nm and no more clunks! It was an easy fix and I should have used the proper tool to begin with (I "gently" used a battery powered impact driver originally
).
If anyone is interested, this is the socket you need:
