top suspension strut nut is 60nm/44lbf.The middle nut depends on the model,if early gti thenits in 2 stages,1st is to 90nm/66lbf then turn another 45degrees...but if later model the 1st stage is to 200nm/150lbf then fully slacken the nut then tighten 50nm/37lbf then another 30 degree angle(according to haynes)
