Rep Power: 295

Hey gang,

After a few month of saving up, i'm ordering my coilovers on Monday and I'll be installing it on Saturday. Yes, I'm getting the JIC FLT-A2 for the EP on my 03 EX coupe 5 speed.

my question is, when i put the coilover on, it it 33 lb-ft torque on every bolt? if not, what are the torques for the individual bolts?

thanks,
much appreciated
