What step/diagram?
  • Step/Diagram K - Use OEM (80 N-m/59 ft-lb)
    • Brembo BBK doesn't react appreciably more or less torque than OEM brakes, so the spec to the knuckle isn't any different.
  • Step/Diagram N - Use Brembo (115 N-m/85 ft-lb)
    • Factory brakes carry the load in shear through the caliper slide pins. Brembo BBK doesn't use slide pins, so it carries the load through the bracket hardware.
