Post Mcpherson uppermounting nuts.

The four bolts to attach the strut to frame are called uppermounting nuts. I broke all of them loose at around 30ft\lbs and it tells me to bolt them or tighten them at 57ft\lbs is this correct? I personaly think they will snap off.

straight from the paragon site:

Torques (ft-lbs): Strut cap = ~110, Strut nut = 57, Strut to hub = 74, Strut to body = 18

the strut nut is the center bolt and the strut to body bolts are the four spaced around the center bolt

DON'T do 57! You will strip the crap out of them (I know!)
