do i need to tighten the strut braces on as it says in the manual to 14 if i remember correctly, or can i just torque it down as tight as possiable. i just installed my front and rear. will it cause any type of loss in handling?

No. Thats how bolts and washers break under heavy stress.

Loss. No.
Improvement. Yes.
You will notice it with more people in the car than just yourself.
