coilovers

Hey everyone, my coilovers are gonna show up today, ordered ksport ones from mroth here on the org. My question is, is there a left and a right? Or does it matter. Also the torque number for the bolts that will hold it at the top, I needed to know, I've done some reading and can't find as much out as i would like, thanks guys

the two rears are identical.

Left and right for the fronts, they will be pretty obvious where because of the location of the brake line bracket (forward of the strut)

The nuts at the top...you mean the strut tower nuts, 3 on each front? FSM states between 35 and 45 ft/lbs I think...for the rears there is no torque spec I believe, just do those the German way (Gutentite - goodandtight)


The bottom bolts need to be torqued down to spec as well...something like 90 ft/lbs on the rear and 110 on the front, double check though.
