    Macan Brembo Upgrade, HELP

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Being the idiotic over-achiever I am, I split the macan brembos that I’m using for my brake upgrade. After reading into this, people say not to do it. I’m powder coating used ones so I had to sand blast, wanted to get them perfectly prepped.
    Anyways, they’re apart. Done deal. The bolts that hold the halves together supposedly stretch due to heat, but also are designed to stretch to aid in the torque spec or something. So re-using them would not retain their structural integrity. Some guys say they used loctite and 1/4 turn ontop of spec torque and no issues. Can’t buy these bolts new either it looks like.

    Anyone else had this same problem?
    Save the roast, I know I f’d up Need ideas pls and thanks

    Most people don't take the calipers apart to powder coat them.
