What is the torque setting for the 3 rear strut tower nuts?

80 Nm on the reference I'm looking at.

Sounds right - I know I shouldn't be, given the different roles they do... but I'm always surprised at how much less it is than the ~180Nm (179Nm or 197Nm?) for the lower bolts... main reason to comment was to point out that if you're doing EZ-cams (or other camber adjustment bolts that you'll need for the rear suspension), then it's only 80-120Nm for the replacement lower camber bolts, varies by brand... that one cost me a set of Eibach EZ-cams :(
