Axle Carrier to Body 100 Nm/74ft-lb
Stabilizer Bar Bracket 19Nm/14ft-lb
End Links 56Nm/41ft-lb
Control Arm 100Nm/74ft-lb
Strut Top Nut 30/22ft-lb
Strut Support to Body 56Nm/41ft-lb
Lower Strut Bolt 165Nm/121ft-lb

The only torque value different from the R50 - R53 on the rear suspension is the lower strut bolt 121 ft-lb (R56), 103 ft-lb (R53)
