Did you use any type of lube when cleaning the threads or just compressed air? any other tips for the install?

I use only anti-seize every time to prevent seizing. Of course do not tight the bolt at the oem spec after applying a lubricant. I have torqued the bolts only on my hand...
If you absolutely want to have them torqued, you can search on the web to find the chart to calculate what is the torque for an lubricated bolt.
I will suggest you to clean the holes with an air compressed to avoids problems in case...
We have done these bussing on 2 differents cars and only experimented the problem on my car... And it's was only more tight to screw for one bolt due to some debris on the hole... This is why am suggesting to use compressed air... That I forget to do...
Good luck and just take your time! It's supposed to be very easy.
