The 21mm nut on the swing arm 18mm eccentric bolt is torqued to 165 Nm. Easily accessible.
Guide link eccentric ... 18mm nut and bolt ... 100 Nm, but I found it impossible to get a torque wrench in there and did that one by feel. Proper way would be with a torque extension. But before torquing, doing the toe adjustment, it will probably test your limits of contortion to do that with the wheel in place, but it is possible.
Need to jack the rotor to equivalent geometry when the car is sitting on the ground before torquing, so the bushings are centered (maybe not for your non-rubber, non-OE bushings?). Discussed in other places on here if in doubt.
If you want to keep it simple, rather than thinking you're going to hit exactly -1.7* on the camber (or whateve it is) you might try getting as low camber as possible (many do this, and can only hope to get close to the spec), so accurate camber measurement is not so critical. And use string alignment for toe adjustment. It will make you think, but if you like that, it can be done well.
