Default Lower control arm bolt tension advice PLEASE!!!!

I lowered my car about three weeks ago and since then I have had to take the front passenger wheel off twice to retighten the bolt. I was told 59lbs of torque was the appropriate amount but I still seem to have a self loosening nut and its driving me NUTS! Can I use a lock washer or some type of lock-tite? I love the new stance of my car so I want a permanent fix.Please help the young vette junkie!!!!!!!!

Lower control arms are suppose to be torqued to 125 FT Lbs.

Send me a PM of your email address and I can send PDF of all torque values.
