Tech Tip for Big Brake Kits

When running big brake kits such as Brembo's, watch your torque settings. Since this is a floating system, the attachment hardware is actually attached at a low torque and is kept tight with locking springs and thread locking compound to preload the assembly. This has been done to prevent excessive noise from the system during street use, while still maintaining the benefits of a floating disc. Make sure not to over torque the rotors to the brake hats. This can cause warpage and a pulsing brake pedal. Worse, it can damage the brake hat itself requiring replacement.
