Torque specs are in the helms manual for every bolt. I have the EK manual if you want a copy.

Not really black current, but I was told it is called Vintage Plum.

At night, it does look like black.

Working on your driveway is one thing, operating a "small business" on a side is another. As long as your neighbour knows that this is for personal use only and not a private business, you are ok.

either get aftermarket poly urethane bushings or aftermarket LCA's.

Why do you need 6? if your doing coilovers you should only need two..
