Will be tackling installing a set of springs in the next weeks.

Couple questions, any help will be appreciated:

1. I haven't seen any DIY for installing suspensions on the M2 specifically, searched but couldn't find, if anyone has one please point me to it. If there isn't one, is this a good one to follow seeing this car shares suspension components with the M3/M4 without having the EDC:

2. Anyone know the torque specs on the different bolts I will need to tighten after I install the suspension?

The installation process should be very similar to the M235i and F2x F3x chassis as there is no real strut tower bar to remove.

Thanks for the response.

Dissasembling should be pretty straight forward seeing some of the other walk thru threads. I am more concerned with torque specs when assembling all back together.

Was told that the M Performance Installation instructions lists the torque specs. But haven't found them online.

Torque specs are nominally 75% of the yield strength of the fastener. A quick google on Metric bolt torque specs will get you what you need like this table, though I usually only torque critical things during engine assembly. Use the 4.6 class/dry numbers in column 6:
