If this is going to be a sticky thread, can we either rename it and clean it up a little or create new? Looking in the Helm manual, there is absolutely no difference in suspension torque for GT/V6/EB. Anything powertrain related should be in a separate thread. That way we don't have all the confusion or people wondering, well I have a V6 or an EB, what are my torque numbers? Or should we have a sticky thread for V6 and one for EB in separate threads or is GT the only one that matters?

I went through the first post and verified. Additions are in green and incorrect is red.

Wow you really are color blind. That's green and red. ;)

The good news is the red are incorrect values so you aren't missing much.

BTW, I like your bright green car!

Any chance we could get more diagrams for the ignorant such as myself that don't know the names for all the suspension pieces yet? Maybe I'll put something together and then with forum input I can update it.

What thread pitch are the rear sway bar bracket bolts? I stripped the starting thread on one and need a tap or a replacement bolt.

NM, found it.

Part numbers?

Any chance of part numbers for all the ones that are single use?

Here is a list of torque values I've collected and summarized for myself while doing my build. I'm willing to keep this first post updated if people would like to list additional info and any corrections.

All values are for a GT and I make no guarantees they are correct since they came from multiple places.

Front Suspension
BMR Camber Bolt (18mm / 21mm): 125 ft/lbs.
Factory Upper/Lower Strut to Knuckle Bolt (21mm / 24mm): 184 ft/lbs.
Upper Strut Mount Nuts x 3 (15mm deep): 46 ft/lbs.
Strut End Bolt (Do not remove without compressing the spring) (21mm): 76 ft/lbs.
Brake Caliper Bolts (15mm): 85 ft/lbs.
Sway Bar End Links (18mm / 17mm): 85 ft/lbs.
BMR Sway Bar End Links (19mm / 14mm): 85 ft/lbs.
Front Sway Bar Mounts (18mm):
BMR Sway bar Mounts (10mm allen):
Front Lower Control Arm (24mm): 184ft/lbs
Cowl Extension (Upper K brace): 26 ft/lbs.
Strut Tower Cross Brace (15mm deep): 41 ft/lbs.
BMR Front Subframe Chassis Brace Rear Bolts (1"): 100 ft/lbs.
Inner Radius Arm Bolt (24mm):
Tie Rod to Spindle (18mm):
Steeda Extreme G-Trac Brace Front (10mm allen): 60 ft/lbs.
Steeda Extreme G-Trac Brace Rear (22mm): 60 ft/lbs.
Front spindle/hub nut: 251 ft/lbs.

I'll update the thread with your changes and try to change the title. I created this without any manuals a long time ago. It wasn't confirmed at that point the everything was the same between the V6, EB, and GT.

I only owned a GT so I just posted the numbers I had, so yes GT was the only thing that mattered to me. I was in the middle of my suspension build so looking up numbers for cars I don't own wasn't on my todo list.

Does anyone know the rear wheel bearing bolt torque specs? Four bolts that hold the hub in place.

I ordered some eibach pro kit springs for my European 2017 GT convertible,ref E10-35-029-03-22,but the suspension stops are not included.should I cut them as shown in the picture in the first post?

These springs will lower the front by 25mm and the rear by 20mm.
