Coilover Install Help

Post by dans6490 » Fri Jan 19, 2018 1:45 pm

I've just bought some Stance+ coilovers as I want to go lower and replace the shocks without breaking the bank!

I want to install them myself after watching a few how-to guides on youtube.

My only issue (so far) is the torque settings for all the nuts and bolts after install.

Is there a guide or reference anywhere?? I've looked online and searched here but not found anything.

I replaced most of my suspension last year, there is a thread about it in the M section and I think I listed all the torque settings on the first post......https://z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=92153

That great, thanks. I dont suppose you know the torque setting for swapping the top mount to the coilover? Your post suggests 35nm?

35nm is top mount to car
top mount to shock is 64nm according to TIS
