Torque setting for re-attaching rear shock?

[RickZ4]

Can anyone advise me what torque setting I should use when re-attaching my rear shock after replacing the broken coil spring..?

Thanks

100Nm.

But you have to tension it at normal driving position.
torque it down with the wheels down / in full droop will damage the shock rubber bushing.
So the wheels have to be sitting on the ground or the rear suspension trailing arm has to be jacked up.

Thanks Easier on a ramp, I guess...

On a 4 post ramp it's easy yes. (if you have a pit its also easy)
With 2 post ramp you need a transmission jack to jack up the rear trailing arm to get it somewhere in the driving position.
