I am not an expert by any means, but I am pretty sure that the the 100Nm number for LCA to subframe is the jointing torque, which is what you torque down to before you then turn another 90° on the bolt, with the car's weight on the suspension.

If I am wrong here I'd like some clarification. They do it this way so that the nut/bolt deforms to the right amount to prevent itself loosening.

I found this very difficult. I am not physically strong enough to do the final turn in the limited space under the car, even with a decently long bar. I'd say it needs a pit to get the weight on it.
