Torque Specs Needed

Can anybody provide the correct #s for my upcoming M7 spring & H-sport rear swaybar installation?

Thanks,

The only thing I caution is to NOT overtighten the swaybar bushing mounts. 15-20 lb-ft is plenty. Also, don't overtighten the front strut/knuckle clamp, as you will crush the strut. "Quite snug", but certainly not "Cranked". Just like any good mechanic, you should be able to determine the level of tightening torque based on the hardware used.
