Default 2013 ford focus brake/rotor torque nm

Hey just curious what the proper torque nm is for a 2013 ford focus trend rotors I was going to just tighten it as tight as I can as I was taught to do growing up, until I was recommended to use a torque wrench to do it by someone and thought I may as well do it properly, I've seen on a few videos it's 120 nm then another few its 178 on the front ones and I have no idea on the back ones yet I've had a look at the workshop manual on here but it only says about the 28nm to just do the pads which is all round 28nm

Thank you

Front rotors on a 2013 LW2 Focus is a floating disc, ie not bolted as such. If you are referring to the bolts for the caliper that you need to remove to access the disc, they are 175 Nm. If you are referring to the wheel nuts, they are 135 Nm.
