Brembo Torque Specifications - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

What’s the specified torque for caliper mounting bolts on the Performance Package Brembo calipers, and are the caliper bolts reusable?

Unofficial answer:
59lb-ft/80Nm with anti-seize has been working great; numerous track days with no issue, and taking the calipers off a year later everything looked great.

Brembo’s use German torque. Gutentight, I beleive is the setting.

Yes, they're reusable. Are these the fronts? If so, 60 ft-lbs and call it a day.

This is what I ended up going with. Dry, it is impossible to properly torque these bolts with less than 120Nm as they want to seize. With some copper anti-seize, all 4 front bolts tightened to their original position(clocked with a pen mark) at 60ft-lb/80Nm.

I looked in my service info, I don't have any specs listed for either. Should just be able to snug em both up and be fine, add a little extra oomph to the banjo bolts.

Stumbled upon this thread, as well as a similar thread on an STI forum.

Looks like the answer is ~80–88 lb-ft which with anti-seize translates to about 60 lb-ft indeed.

3 ugga duggas should do it!
