The last shop probably tightened my Z's lugs to 120-130 ft/lbs, at LEAST. My electric Dewalt 18v impact had issues getting them loose. My truck on the other hand requires 150 ft/lbs I believe, and my impact was able to take them off pretty easily.

Oh yeah, what cheesed me the most about that, was the fact that on the receipt, it insisted they tightened down to 95 ft/lbs on all corners...
