On the v6's with the Brembos the bolts are Tx55 and are tightened to 120Nm (or 90lb.ft), with some threadlock for good measure.

I can't imagine them being different on the other models.

Thanks for that. My range goes to T50 and I knew it was bigger but not sure whether it was T55 or T60.

Unlike which other screws/bolts on the car? :lol:

Mine were as tight as anything but found that trying to do it up a little first then undo it helps
