[s-cars] Additional input to the conversation on BBK's and brackets....

[Young, Steve]

I have just installed my StopTech kit.  Engineering seemed quite well
done, and everything installed as specified.  The caliper brackets are
aluminum, with steel pins that the caliper slides over.  Attached are
links to a couple pics in my AW picposter.  StopTech says to torque the
caliper bracket mounting bolts to 148 ftlbs, but IIRC Bentley says ~60
ftlbs.  Unfortunately, StopTech doesn't produce an installation manual
specific to the C4 S-car, so they send you the manual for the B5 S4/C5
A6 kit.  I torqued mine to the factory spec, but haven't bled out the
system or driven on the kit yet.  Getting a torque wrench in there that
will do 150 ftlbs will be near impossible.  Will I be okay with the
factory setting?  Input is appreciated.  TIA
