List of torque specs & socket size
We should make a list of torque specs here so we can all use it as a reference. For example the lugs for wheels: 80 ft-lbs, strut bars 33 ft-lbs ...and so on.
We should also make a list of all the socket sizes like 10mm for bumper removal, 14mm for end links, 12mm to remove rear sway bar bushing bracket.....etc.
I guess we can either keep it here or put it in the DIY section.

Rep Power: 419 I have a couple of torque specs from the Body Repair Manual:
6x1.0 mm: 7.2 lbf-ft (lower torque bolts)
6x1.0 mm: 13 lbf-ft (higher torque bolts)
8x1.25 mm: 16 lbf-ft (lower torque bolts)
8x1.25 mm: 22 lbf-ft (higher torque bolts)
It shows a diagram telling you which are which, but it's a diagram of the major body panels. We probably won't be taking those bolts out. It's of general help to give you a guage of what torque to use though...

Rep Power: 0 Header nuts/bolts: 12mm socket. 23ft/lbs
Wheel lug nuts: 19mm socket. 80ft/lbs
Upper strut mounts (3 nuts/side): 14mm socket. 33ft/lbs
OEM strut shaft nut: 17mm socket. 33ft/lbs
*Tip for using OEM strut shaft nut on Koni shocks: Use a 9mm box wrench to hold the strut shaft from spinning while using a 17mm crows foot socket adaptor to torque the nut.

Rep Power: 0 The two Front Lower Control Arm Bolts (19mm hex) and
the two sub-frame bolts (17mm hex) are torqued to 76ft-lbs. (98Nm)
These are the bolts that you remove and put back when you install the Neuspeed Front Lower X-Brace Bar.

Rep Power: 0 does anyone no the torque specs for the bolts of the lower strut and shocks respectivly. The two that connect the front struts to the rotor assembely and the one bolt connecting the rear shocK to the lower control arm? How about the bolt connecting the controll arms to the strut in front?
