EXACTLY!
then a short time later you're back to have the warped rotors corrected.
Cha-Ching!!!

Next time I get tires, I'm going to ask the guy immediately after my car is ready, what torque did you take my lug nuts too? (wait for an answer) I'll say if it's not 76ft/lb then you better get them to that torque right now before my rotors warp while I watch! Here, use my torque wrench. (made by Snap-On and calibrated and always set to 15lb/ft after each use)

I bought a torque stick from Jet Tools that's good for 80ft/lb. Would this torque stick work well on my 14" steelies? What's the best way to use a torque stick?
Thanks!

80 is fine...as long as you didnt get the 150lb one.

also, if you are using the stick and gun, lightly hit the gun to touch lugs to wheels. then go back a second time and tighten with teh stick/gun combo to prevent the rotor warping issue.

if you seat the wheel firmly first you shouldnt have any problems...but think about what happens when you tighten one side before all the others...it leans that way, then you pull it back the other way with the other 3 lugs...pulling the bearing/hub/rotor with it
