SA torque specifications

Are there torque specification for brake calipers (front and rear) brackets bolts and the rotors bolts for the SA kit?
Steve, the mounting bolts are the same diameter as stock... use the 500E specs for everything.

:banana1:
 
@gsxr If the calipers are not removed from the brackets, but the brackets are removed with the calipers still attached, are there torque specs to reattach the brackets.

Not sure I understand. The SA calipers have integrated brackets which bolt directly to the front knuckle, or rear wheel carrier. There's not a separate adapter/bracket as you would see with aftermarket Porsche/Wilwood/Brembo/etc calipers.

Front caliper bolts that attach the caliper to the front steering knuckle, torque, is 180Nm. And, the bolts are supposed to be replaced every time the caliper is removed.

Rear caliper bolts that attach the caliper to the rear wheel carrier, torque, is 50Nm. They specify 70Nm for non-US and non-Japan cars as of 2/1993. Again, the bolts are supposed to be replaced whenever the caliper is removed.

I don't think there is a torque difference between non-SA and SA calipers.
