Caliper torque specs

[SVXer95]

I finally have a question to which I couldn't find the answer on the forum so here goes.

I'll be doing a brake job on the fronts shortly, because yes, they are warped again!! I was wondering if anyone had the torque specs for the caliper and hanger bolts.

I was thinking of getting the Race Concepts rotors and I read some good things. Anyone have long-term opinions about these?

Thanks.

Aren't the torque specs in your service manual? As for the rotors, there was a thread a while back where people are claiming that cross-drilled rotors will eventually crack. Might want to stick to just slotting the rotors. What pads are you using?

Thanks for the numbers.

As for the rotors I was pretty sure that the Race Concept rotors were not cross drilled yet dimple drilled to min thickness. I was thinking about going for the EBC greenstuff pads. I have always used AE organic pads from NAPA but these look about the same price.

do a search on green stuff, something about having to order the SUV pads from a Nissan. As an alternative to OEM and EBC, I'm thinking about akebono ceramic pads next time. The site below shows them for the SVX at around $50 per axle.

Those numbers do not match what's in my Chilton's manual. It lists the knuckle-to-caliper support bolts as 68-88 ft-lbs and the support-to-caliper bolts at 34-44 ft-lbs.

Mine came from Alldata - obviously we need somebody with the factory manual to chime in here, I don't have a copy.
