Hi, Im installing new M030 row on my C2 coupe, and am looking for the torque values for the reassembling. 3 nuts on top, big nut on top of strut, sway bar bolt and caliper bolts.
same thing for the rear.

thanks

If you are tearing into your car that much you shoud get a hold of the Porsche Technical Manual. If you search you can find a source. It has all the specs you are looking for and will be valuable as you do more work on your car. Brake caliper to wheel carrier (front) = 63 ft/lbs.

Renntech has a step by step including Torque values. I just did this three weeks ago and easily followed the proceedure as described. It took me longer than I thought but turned out well. You'll be wondering why you didn't do it sooner.

The M030 suspension is like a scateboard with teenie rubber-bands for springs; you feel every bump in the road. Ours came with them stock...

Thought your cars came with ROW suspension and ROW M030 was an option.
FWIW, I like my ROW M030 much better than US stock.

there is a difference between M030 US, ROW and ROW sport.
These are ROW sport. there is a good comapraison thread somewhere here.

Found the DIy on renntect, http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7073
not very familiar with the terms, if someone could help me out
1- 3 bolts on top into body
2- 21mm strut top bolt
3- 18mm sway bar bolt and 14mm into sway bar

thank you

That's funny, I had the same question. The "terms" used in the Renntech torque spec. doesn't really jive with me. I couldn't figure out what's what either.

Under the Renntech list I did see it says:

Spring strut mount to body M8 33 (24), so 24 ft lb. Which I don't think is enough, as it need to hold the camber adjustment and I found by using only 24ft lb the camber changes on it's own.

BTW, I did find the 21mm top bolt torque is 59 ft lb, sway bar 37 ft lb
