R34 Gtt Coilover Torque Specs

[suwidji]

Hey all,

Going to be installing a set of BC BR's on my r34 gtt and just wanted to find out the torque specs for the bolts that hold the coilover in?

Did a bit of search on the forums and found a post briefly stating it's 70nm for the bottom bolts and 40nm for the top strut bolts. Is this correct?

Cheers

Bottom bolts are best described as f**king tight. Pretty much as hard as you can do it up with a double ended ringy. 70Nm is about right for that. The top bolts are only 8mm or something, so 40Nm would be not far wrong there too.

FWIW, I never use a torque wrench for main suspension bolts. f**king tight is the correct torque.

I did the same did them up pretty tight I got the same BC coilovers

lol thanks for the replies.

So i guess it's one of those jobs where nuts need to be tight as fuark? Excited to finally get some coils on. my springs have sagged too much and im running too low to put my front lip on lol

Have fun putting them in it took us about 2 hours to do but it was worth it in the end. Oh and I didnt touch the height on mine when I put them in but only bad thing is that my exhaust site a little too low lol
