ifyou are talkingabout your struts, it's 167NM +-9 for the large nut on top and the lower arm ball joint nut is 108NM +-10 or in english it's 123+-7 and 80+- 7 ft lbs. respectively.if you are talking about headers on the engine or exaust manifolds if it's a M10 bolt 21ft lbs +- 3 and a M8 bolt 13+-1ft lb.

Yeah I am actually putting on lowering springs and wanted to make sure I tighten all the bolts correctly when I put them back on. Is there a certain sequence I should put the header bolts back on in?
