Default Spoon Tie Bar

I just got a spoon tie bar, and I was wondering what the torque specs are for the bolts, and if factory bolts will work.


Thanks,

The Spoon bars comes with bolts and it is the same torque spec as the stock bar.

I have the Spoon rear lower tie bar and previously had the shock tower brace. IMNSHO they do little to bugger all.

The STB is bracing non-structural (from a geometry POV) members and the rear brace simply replaces the stock pressed steel brace with a lighter alloy brace.

Now the X-brace on the other hand... But if you are after a Front Lower Brace I'd recommend the Muz/Whiteline unit over the Spoon. It's lighter, allows better access for oil changes and is structurally more rigid. Oh, and it's cheaper. I sold my Spoon and bought the Whiteline.
