Here's what Total sayis in their manual. Don't know if it will apply in your case but it might be a place to start.
I've got my Total Car on the road a couple of months ago but just tightened them down and hit the road. I'll go back and refine my adjustments and see iit makes any difference. 12in pounds seems kind of light to start.

The friction shocks mount to the tabs welded to the axle. TP
recommends that the friction shock rubber pads be dusted
with talcum powder before installing. Tighten the nuts only
until a drag is felt (12 in. lb torque) on the levers. They can be
finally adjusted when your car is finished. The friction lever
should point out towards the wheels.recommends that the friction shock rubber pads be dusted

IF you using a made by someone fric shock;use there spic. if not you did your own,then;
The center bolt is only so strong for what ever size it is,so if your bending the disk or braking the bolts,that's for sure to much,pass that on your own design;
It's going to depen on how big the fric disk is and how long the arm is too,+ how close to the outer end of axle the arm is hook to. FUN & games time.
You'll know when it feels rite.
