A couple torque specs needed to complete my coilover install.

[matthewb2795]

I installed my Stasis SS coilovers today and I cannot find a few torque specs I need to completely finish up. Tomorrow I plan on dropping the car and adjusting the suspension to height.

Rear torque specs I need: rear subframe bolts and the bolt that is used to adjust the rear camber
Front torque specs I need: front sway bar, steering link bolts, and control arm bolts.

I am sure I could get away with just tightening them up, but if anyone has a bentley manual or has these torque specs, it would be a great help! Stasis' directions dont include all the torque specs and their tech support isn't the most helpful I've ever used. Thank you!

Nothing?? At least the rear subframe bolts?

I followed the the Stasis write-up from A4Mods, which is has been extremely helpful with the exception of trimming bumpstops and torque specs.

Just got my Bentley in the mail yesterday!

If you can wait till tonight and no one posts them up I will get it for you.

That would seriously be a huge help! Thank you!

Threw in a few extras just in case you or anyone else needed them [wrench]

Front Torque Specs:

Upper Link to Strut Mounting Plate: 50 Nm (37ft-lb) then 1/4 turn
Pinch Bolt, Upper Links to Wheel Bearing Housing: 40 Nm (30 ft-lb)
Lower Control Link to Subframe: 70 Nm (52 ft-lb) then 1/2 turn
Strut to Lower Control Link: 90 Nm (66 ft-lb)
Connecting Link to Front Stabilizer Bar: 40 Nm (30 ft-lb) then 1/4 turn
Connecting Link to Lower Control Link: 40 Nm (30 ft-lb) then 1/4 turn
Lower Guide Link to Subframe: 70 Nm (52 ft-lb) then 1/2 turn
Lower Guide Link to Wheel Bearing Housing: 110 Nm (81 ft-lb)
Subframe Support to Subframe: 110 Nm (81 ft-lb) then 1/4 turn
Subframe Support to Body: 55 Nm (41 ft-lb)
Stabilizer Bar to Subframe: 25 Nm (18 ft-lb)

Rear Torque Specs:

Upper Shock Mount to Body: 36 Nm (27 ft-lb)
Lower Shock Mount to Stub Shaft Carrier/Wheel Bearing Housing: 150 Nm (111 ft-lb) then 1/4 turn
Stabilizer Bar to Coupling Rod: 45 Nm (33 ft-lb)
Coupling Rod to Control Arm: 25 Nm (18 ft-lb)
Stabilizer Bar to Body: 25 Nm (18 ft-lb)

There is no Torque spec for the bolt that adjusts camber, as it is adjustable.

Hope this helps!

Weren't the torque specs indicated in the manual? Mine were complete although I'm running the Stasis Ohlins SL

You are a king! Thanks so much. That helps a ton.

Looking through my instructions, its hard to believe those guys build race cars but can hardly write a legible/logical manual.
