what specs r u talking about? which bolts and where are they located?

the front coilover has three bolts on top of the engine bay and a bolt that connects it to the lower control arm.

the rear shock has two bolts on top that connect the shock to the car and one bolt that connects it to the lower suspension.

i would help, but have no idea what you want.

 

just tighten them sean
whocares. just tighten them so they dont come loose

 

here ya go...

N-m (kg-m, ft-lb) is how you read the numbers.

 

For the front im looking for the three bolts that connect to the engine bay

For the rear im looking for the two bolts that connect to the car.

well, the pics i attached above has what you need.

and your welcome

 

Thanks man! Big help! I ran into a problem though...for the rear when i was torqueing them down the passenger side went fine (they were a lil loose) and the driver side i ran into a problem...not sure what it was. But the nut that is closest to the outside of the car torqued down fine, but the one that is tucked away for some reason would not torque down...? I am not sure why? I would torque it and torque it and nothing happen, the wrench never *clicked*, which is what it does when it torques to what ever ft-Ib...i went through and double checked on all the other ones to make sure it wasnt the wrench, but the other nuts torqued properly.

Any ideas as to why it wont torque correctly? I was thinking maybe the weld was some how snapped durring install (the actual bolt that is welded to the body of the car)? And then i don't even know if the bolt is welded to the car?

Let me know if you have any ideas.

If it spins and spins, it sounds like you stripped out the threading on the bolt part. Or, if your suspicions are correct, you may have broken the weld on the bolt. Since the rear damper is compressible by hand, I'd take the two upper nuts off, squeeze the upper mount half down, and inspect the bolt. If it moves, you did break it free (probably by over torquing it?). If it doesn't move, inspect the threading to see any damage.
