Default DR STBs torque specs?
I recently got a set of used STBs i was wondering what the torque specs are to the bolts that go into the strut tower and the bolts for the bars themselves that go into the bracket.

thanks for the help guys.

i went ahead and emailed Don.

The nuts on the strut towers are 35 ft lbs and the bolts that hold the brace to the brackets are 10 ft lbs.
