Looking for something like the Haynes or Chilton manuals. A full service manual. I am going to be installing my Eibach springs and want torque specs. Plus I am sure I will need it in the future too...

I dont recall Windhaven or D-Roll saying that a torque wrench was necessary. Although when i went to Eibachs website on the tech tip section they said to use a torque wrench.

The (Field Service Manual) FSM has been posted here for months - most folks seem not to take advantage of it judging by the # of "how do you remove... " questions that pop up. THe FSM is essential if you are a do-it your selfer looking to install springs, front fascias, stereos etc.

As for Torque Wrenches - if you are a do it yourselfer - you should own or have access to a Torque wrench - especially when you are talking about springs, wheels etc. Most of these critical components have Torque Specifications as it would not be a good thing to lose a spring or wheel because it wasnt tight enough.

I didnt need my torque wrench on the spring install. Unless you wanna torq down your lug nuts you dont need one imo. Just make sure you dont over tighten the 13mm bolts for the top of the front struts.

That is what I was thinking. If I torque everything down, I have that piece if mind that nothing is loose.
