This probably applies to installing any strut tower bar so I figured I'd make a post with sizes and torque specs.
*Sorry not all sizes will be Metric*
First remove the nuts on the strut. They're size 14mm.
Put away the black ring plates as these will not be re-used.
Install Cusco or whatever strut tower bar.
Use factory nuts and torque them to 46 ft lbs.
The Cusco instructions say to tighten the strut nuts to 32 ft lbs but that seemed low so I went with factory specs.
Once those are torqued, torque the bolts on the strut bar itself to 42 ft lbs using a 11/16th socket and 5/16th Allen wrench.
You're all done.
