Have this new awesome strut bar thinking of installing but can't seem to find torque spec and if new bolts are required or can use original. Anyone know? Help!

25LBS stock. Have no idea if the the bar changes anything or if the bolts are reusable or not.
The thats just a starting point to get you going. Ask the people who made the bar for a final word.

Unless they included new bolts, I see no reason to deviate from the stock torque figure.
Looks like realoem lists two different nuts that could have been used at the top of the strut, both are torque to yield and should technically be replaced. M8 - 30nm then 90 degrees M10- 56nm then 90 degrees https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...truts/GaPp5jLV

Hello BMW Experts!
So like, this bar looks pretty good. No 'hinge' on each side. Mechunik Strut Bars for BMW F30/F31 3 Series (LCI) https://bimmian.com/mechunik-strut-b...r-f30-f31-lci/ Murf |

Im running the OBX Racing Sports F30 brace. Solid, one piece construction. Polished chrome appearance. OP's bar is equally sound. That company makes a bunch of different F30 stabilization bars. From Malaysia, I believe. |

Three mounting points as well vs. two that a lot of F30 bars have. |
