Did you get an answer? I don't think the torque specs are different for the C55 versus regular 203s. The WIS doesn't make any differentiation. Here are the specs, anyway:
Self locking nut, link rod to torsion bar, M10 - 60 Nm
Self locking nut, link rod to suspension strut, M10 - 60 Nm
Bolt of stabilizer bar retaining bracket to front axle carrier - 40 Nm
Self locking nut, transverse link to steering knuckle assembly - 80 Nm
Self locking nut, cross strut to front axle carrier - 150 Nm
The 'torque strut' would be the lower control arm I believe, and the 'cross strut' would be the upper. 'Front axle carrier' refers to the subframe, chassis side.
Good luck! I'm going to tackle the job Easter long weekend, provided I can line up my Indy shop for an alignment on Easter Monday. About time too - I've had the parts for over a year!
