Suspension howto?

Is there a online howto for changing the suspension? With torque setting and so on? I am changing to coilovers and I am keen on doing it properly.

Btw. I have tried searching the forums and google before posting with no luck.

if you are doing it yourself it will probably take like 5-6 hours especially you havent done this before. I suggest you pay like $150 and let the shop do it for you.

1: I live in Norway. No way if I will get it done for 150 bucks (it's expensive here).
2: I have done it before on several cars.
3: It is a fun weekend project with my pals.
4: Knowing you did the work yourself is priceless

I used these 3, but none of them have the OEM torque specs:

I updated this one with Bentley manual torque specs, including metric:

Do the alignment after the car has settled, 2 - 4 weeks depending on how much you drive.
