what is the torque spec for brembo calipers front and rear?

hey guys ive searched around and couldnt find the torque specs for the front and rear brembo calipers....i found some directions with pictures that show the torque spec but the words dont come out clear...i really would like some help or input on this one because i plan on putting them back on in a couple of hours...also does anyone know the torque spec for the lugnuts as well when i put the rims back on....thanks i appreciate it guys later!

Oh here are the pics of my new powdercoated brembo's that Mike (thepowdercoater.com) did....He did a Fantastic job thanks MIKE!!!! CAN EVERYONE SAY BURPLE!!! I liked how nolans (silvernole12) turned out but since that powdercoat was hard to deal with i went with the kandy bluish purple route...I love the way they turned out...sometimes it looks black, blue, or purple depending on the light and angle...

manual sez 113 - 114 ft. lbs. for the FRONT caliper bolts and 11 - 12 ft. lbs for the brake line flare nuts. (Rears 53 - 71 ft. lbs. as Brando shows below for the rears...added here as an edit)


BTW how did you get the Brembo back on those after powder-coat? Is it a sticker? Those look sick...I want to paint mine red now that I have 5-spoke wheels that are almost black in color, I've seen a bunch of DG coupes here with black or gunmetal wheels and BBK's with red calipers and they look sick. But I was wondering how I'd get the "Brembo" back on after powdercoat...

Flare nut for lines: 11-12ft lbs. F&R
Page B30 -Front Brembos - If I am reading it right , says 113-114 ft lbs for the caliper bolts

Page B43 - Rear Brembos - 53-71ft lbs.

And I think I always tighten my lugs to 90 ft lbs.

Sorry I can't be of more help....but i have never removed my calipers.


Oh yeah.....and those look SCHWEEET!

Edit: OK I caught Mike (Dirtymechanic) at work and he looked it up in his manuals and confirmed this is correct.

hey to answer your question the brembo logo is a sticker...its just a vinyl sticker made at any sign or sticker vinyl place...they should have the sticker logo...basically all you have to do is give them the brembo logo if they do not have it and basically give them the dimensions the front are 3.75 inches and the rear are 1.75 inches...the height is proportional to the length...hopefully this will help you.

After seeing how good those look.....

Mine will be RED.......oh yes, they will be RED.

Anyone else interested in having anything powdercoated, just contact Mike. He does killer work.
