Caliper torque specs
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. Last edited by SVXer95; 01-12-2003 at 05:06 PM. |

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.
