My wheel nuts keep coming loose. Swapped coilovers back to standard shocks and springs and my drivers side is fine but passenger side nuts are coming loose. They are new nuts only on for 1k miles or so but it dint happen with the coilovers. Shock is on fine could it ve something to do with butting standard camber bolts back in?

108? I only tighten mine to 60Nm as per handbook recommendations :?
108Nm, 11kgf-m, 80lbf-ft.
As neily said are they the right nuts or the original wheels? the shock could upset things when using wheels with an over sized spigot hole or spigot spacers where the wheel is supported by the studs and nuts rather than the spigot boss in the middle of the hub. If the taper on the nuts is different to the taper in the wheel they will find it difficult to lock together in a process called taper lock. why did you need new nuts?

Ah that's me getting confused, perhaps I tighten mine to 60lb-ft, that seems a bit more realistic.
