Any consensus on torque specs for the subframe bolts?

When I took the first on off, I thought it would be a bear, but it broke pretty easily with my breaker bar, easier than a wheel lug.

So on the subsequent bolt removals, I broke them 90 degrees and then used a bar torque wrench to measure going 90 degrees back. I got readings from mid-high forties to low 50s.

I just raised the subframe and decided to go with 55 ft. lbs. Let me know if you think I'm going astray here.
