Torque Question

Need to know what the tourqe specs are for Maxspeed springs? The tophat and the 3 "other" bolts that hold everything in place (mainly front but the backs as well). I have KYB GR2's and didn't get any instructions or torque specs with them or the springs. I torqued everything back to factory spec, but the fronts look too high, I don't think they dropped at all to be honest.

Thanks

FRONT
Piston Rod Nut (center bolt) 43-65 ft lbs.
Strut to body Nuts (the other 3) 32-38 ft lbs.

Now tightening the piston bolt won't control how low your car will drop. That is solely on the spring.

REAR
Strut Piston Rod Lock Nut 15-18 ft lbs.
Strut to Body Nut 18-25 ft lbs.
