If you are using 12mm 8.8 grade bolts the torque needs to be 60lbft, if your shock bolts are 10mm 8.8 then they need to be 33lbft. If your bolts are 10.9 grade you can go up to 83 on the 12mm's and 47 on the 10's.
Remember to use nylocs throughout. If you work in Newton Metres multiply the figures above by 1.36
