when you take ur car to a shop to get your coils installed. how does the shop know how many lbs to torque the bolts to and etc? do they have a book with all the specs in it, or is the torque number a universal number?

sorry for the lame post, i was just thinking random thoughts..

btw- would u ever take ur car to midas? my friend works there and i don't know but i was thikning about it. outside the shop, they have a 2002 porsche carrera getting fixed, a roush cougar getting fixed so i'm thinknig they gotta be aight? :dunno:

maybe i'll just DIY when the time comes. who wants to drive down to richmond to help me!

Most just wrench it down tight...

I've never seen a resource for fastener torque values for multiple vehicles. Only each respective service manual for each manufacturer, which would get prohibitively expensive.

Well, I'd certainly hope they have access to the torque specs for your car...

The more I think about it the more I plan on doing the DIY with my coilovers. I think I have all the resources to do this I just need some patience and some tips from other forum members. I think I'll be using the DIY from www.my330i.com alot in trying to get things running properly.
