Can someone post the caliper, caliper bracket and wheel nut torques please. I can't find my s2000 .pdf

I can't believe how much OEM disks are:

lower

The oem's would cost more than my DBA one then!

Caliper bolts should be spanner tight, caliper bracket should be socket and 12" rachet tight.

Wheel nuts should be oem supplied wheel nut tight.

Tight means reasonable amount of force applied through the tool by hand without applying body weight.

Not particularly exact but works for me

OEM's are $77 each from US

wheel nuts are 80 ftlbs. Caliper bracket I think is 25ftlbs although i'm not 100% on that. I think it states the correct figures in cthree's sticky on changing out brake pads...

lower

25 ftibs for the the caliper bracket seems very low.

Don't do them too tight: it'll just piss you off when you have to change them again in a couple of weeks time.

Just to confirm the Honda ESM says...

Caliper bracket - 32 N.m or 24 lbf.ft (front and rear)
n.b. This is the bolts that you undo when you want to change out the brake pads.
Wheel nut - 108 N.m or 79.6 lbf.ft

lower

for the bolts that hold the caliper onto the bracket 25lbft sounds right. Mark needs the torque for the bolts that hold the caliper bracket (also known as the torque plate) onto the upright that you have to remove when you change discs. ISTR that you need a 17mm socket to undo the bolt so its a lot more meaty and a lot tighter than the caliper bolts.

I changed my rear disc's and pads last week and used a bit of Loctite on them just to be sure.

All done now anyway, and there's no massive vibration under braking so the disks were definitely warped. Going to get hold of a vernier caliper or micrometer and check the disks though.

Bottom line: EBC disks aren't worth the money. The Brakes International ones before held up better.
