    looking for carrier and caliper bolt torque specs

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've found some variability in front and rear caliper and carrier bolt torque specs. I'm guessing some are for B5. Anyway what I have now are:

    Front carrier bolts: 120 ft/lbs
    Front caliper bolts: 60 ft/lbs

    Rear carrier bolts: 75 Nm
    Rear caliper bolts: ?

    I should also mention, front will be upgraded to Brembo 4 piston 355 and rears are OEM B6 S4.

    Do these sound correct, and what about rear caliper bolts?

    Thanks

    As the saying goes.....tight is tight Many parts on this car don't need to be torqued down to "spec". With that big of calipers front and rear I'd upgrade my master cylinder if I were you. If I went S4 rear calipers, i'd have done that.

    Ha, I like "good and tight" just as much as anyone else. I'm just being anal at the moment since I recently broke a suspension related bolt without even trying. Drilling that out was not a good time. I know these bolts can handle it, just trying to get a number to be safe.

    Master cylinder should be fine. The front Brembo kit was designed for stock mc, and JJ experimented a while back with upgraded S4 mc on S4 rears and found no benefit. I'll keep it in mind though since every setup is a little different.
