    Going crazy with finding all sorts of specs. I need those for the bracket, caliper, and banjo bolts.

    So far I gather 26 lbs for the sliding, 42 back and 101 front for bracket and 25 lbs for the banjo.

    EDIT from manual:

    rear 42 lbs bracket, 25 sliding pins, 25 banjo,
    front 101 brackets, 25 sliding and 25 banjo .... see bellow link to the entire repair manual

    You mean the car's manual? Let me check.

    EDIT: silly me, I had the repair manual from the forum. I found it. Thanks Bisco - to my rescue as usual. Brakes start around page 878, look in the index.

    Thanks, all for the post Just decided to check my brakes before a vacation and found that my front inner pads were worn down to the metal and just lightly polishing the rotors. I can say that this is my first set of brakes (I bought it with 118K mi so I don't know for sure if this is the first or second set at 231K mi).

    I can tell a difference in the pedal travel. It's higher now. Going to go easy on these as they break in.
