Rear 901000326 ($2.82 x 4) M10 X 38 bolt
I don't remember if I put anti-seize on mine or not, but I didn't have the torque specs at the time, so I used the German torque spec of guttentite with my standard 3/8" ratchet. I will probably apply some anti-seize to try and make sure they always come out when I need them to.

Bold portion correct. You can find those STI bolts at a local hardware store as well, in high tensile grade 10.x even! Guttentite's no good for these bolts my friend...remember when using anti-seize that you need to reduce your final tightening torque value as well! Don't forget to retorque/check torque on these bolts regularly.

I will caution, that unless one is doing this upgrade for a car with more power or some kind of sanctioned racing, or purely aesthetics, these brakes are a waste of time and money.
On the second half of that, use a ton of antisieze because 80% of the brembos we remove for rotor replacements end up having to be helicoiled.

Yes. Yes. Yes, but check what I said about final tightening torque above.

So the bias is actually better with just the front brembos.

Tiny piston area baby, tiny piston area!
