Does anyone know how to find out the tightening torque of Porsche parts?

I have a 2003 996.2 Carrera 4, and am replacing both the underbody struts that help to brace the front axle, part number 996 504 433 00 (shown in picture below), each of which are retained by two M12 x 1.5 x 25 hex bolts, part number 900 378 094 09. I need to find out what torque to tighten the bolts up to - appreciate any advice.

I’ve done a few jobs on my 996 and google and youtube has been the source for torque settings. Always try and find two sources that coroborate the values.

This post seems to contain alot of info

You can also look up tightening torque for the bolt size and strength rating (8.8 etc) via Google.
