Default Installing rear Koni's... What to torque the nuts to?

Hey guys,

Just a real quick question, I'm installing the rear Koni's and was just wondering what to torque the two nuts to on the shocks?

Thanks

Which nut? The nuts inside the car don't have a torque setting.

The lower mount, I suppose it's not super important, I just like to torque everything properly that has a torque spec... The one inside the car I was just going to snug up, as the instructions clearly say not to tighten down considerably.

Upper nut is 13 ft.lb., and the lower nut is 66 ft.lb.

Well the rear install went super easy. I installed a set of Koni rear's, Strano springs and UMI sway bars. I also got UMI's RR K-member and Lower A-Arms installed. Everything looks great so far!
