Tonight I'm going to tackle the task of installing my Neuspeed Race springs and SPC Camber kit. I made sure to get my hand on a pair of torque wrenches. Does anyone have the torquing specs for all of the componets of the suspension that I will be dealing with? Or maybe a PDF service manual? Thanks in advance.

Unless otherwise noted, these apply to both the front and rear. Just remember that the struts are in the front and the shocks are in the rear. I'm always terrible with remembering the correct terminology for each.

Strut bolts (connect shocks/struts to the spindle): 116 ft lbs
Flange bolts (connect to the bottom of the shock): 45 ft lbs

Flange nuts (connect to top of strut tower): 33 ft lbs
Flange nuts (connect to top of shock tower): 43 ft lbs

Self-locking nut (on top of strut that holds spring): 33 ft lbs
Self-locking nut (on top of shock that holds spring): 22 ft lbs

Tie-rod nut: 32 ft lbs

Brake hose bracket: 16 ft lbs
ABS sensor bracket: 7.2 ft lbs

Spindle nut (aka axle nut): 134 ft lbs

And for the rear alignment kit....
Rear upper control arm: 43 ft lbs

Good Luck,
Kurtis
