Wilbers Rear Shock Installation?

[Spartan]

Hello everyone,

I purchased the Wilbers Rear Shock with -/+ 20 mm height adjustment and XPA. Its manual isn’t R18 specific and when I contacted them, they told me they don’t have a model based manual.

Does anyone know of a write-up or a video showing how to install it? Or can anyone who has the same product share a basic guide on how to install it? (What to disassemble, what to be careful about, torque values of bolts etc… )

Thanks in advance

I disassembled everything and removed the original shock. Now I will assemble it. What should the torque values of the 2 bolts of the rear shock be? And also, what about the 4 bolts that hold the rear frame? I searched everywhere but couldn’t find the torque values for these

I torqued the rear frame bolts and shock absorber bolts to 50 nm since all the screws are 10.9. (Shock absorber bolts are M12, rear frame bolts are M10.). Do you guys think I am good to go? Wilbers doesn’t want to give any recommendations.

Just a follow-up for anyone who looks for this in future. I learned from the BMW service that the torque values shown in the service documentation are 56 Nm for frame bolts and 100 Nm for the suspension bolts.
