The torque specs are included in the directions. Let me know if this is what you needed. If you additional information for the procedure, feel free to let me know.

Take care,

Also, what brakes would you recommend for everyday driving so on ceramic, semi metallic, organic or what?

I hate to ask, but could you repost the brake question in a different thread? We try to keep the different components separated so it is more helpful to others. If you could simply relist the brake question, I would be happy to help.

Let me know and sorry.

Take care,
Joe
