Replacing rear shock absorber final screw rotation

[KlingonLeon]

I have to replace my rear shock absorbers of my Seat Leon FR with 150PS (1.4 TSI) from 2016 (leaking...). The general procedure is quite straight forward the required torque is clear (70 Nm), but I found two different specs for the rotation angle of the M12 screws on the lower end of the absorber of 90° and 180°. Can anyone confirm which rotation is the right one? Thank you

From the workshop manual:
Upper bolts are 50 Nm +45
Lower bolt is 70 Nm +180°

And should be done in the "unladen" position (aka with load on the axle)

I wonder why DCC makes a Cupra 5mm lower

Lower FR or Cupra suspension?

Yes, I was referring to this:

Both Cupra - but with DCC is 5mm lower!

Ah. Got it.

Reading on the small screen of my phone I hadn't seen that detail.

Mind you, maybe it is still due to a spring length / ride height difference. :-k :-k

@SuperV8 this is the information for the front axle, also 5mm lower so it seems
