Hey everyone,
Long time lurker, first time poster with a question I know this crowd can answer easily.
I'm installing my new Steeda Ultralite springs on Saturday, and realized I dont know the torque specifications for the spindle bolts, strut tower bolts, lower shock bolts, swaybars, etc. Could someone please direct me to a source for this info, or post the numbers if possible? Thanks in advance.

Sweet! Thanks man
Just to make sure I'm reading the table right, the first number is for Nm, second for lb/ft, third for lb/in,and a dash means no spec?
So the Heat Shield bolts would be 10 Nm, 89 lb/in, with no lb/ft spec, and the Strut to Spindle bolts would be 200 Nm, 148 lb/ft, with no lb/in spec.
Sounds about right to me. Thanks again Craig, this board is great!
