The middle strut top nut is 41 ft lbs front/rear, the outer nuts are only 14.5 ft lbs- be careful w/ these- they are studs pressed into the top and have been very prone to breaking when over torqued.

Sweet thanks for the info, and the warning.

One q however: what is the spec for the dogbone (pitch stop) which attaches to the firewall behind the engine?

Shouldn't this be a sticky? Or at least added to the FAQ!
Put it in the Suspension sticky![]()
Thanks Big Sky!
I know this is an old post, but its full of GREAT INFO!
Glad it helped. I've got a two track day in a couple of weeks, so you can bet I'll be underneath snugging eveything up![]()

Thanks a lot for the effort. These specs were key during my unstall this weekend. I'm sure it took a lot of work and I just wanted to let you know you were appreciated.![]()
