H E L P C5 Caliper Braket
Need help on finding the Torque specs for the caliper bracket to the hub. I'm upgrading by C4 brakes to C5 Z06 Calipers and all I need is the Toque/lbs for it.
Thanks!!

The torque is based on C5 bolts and steering knuckles. I would use the values from your C4 service manual.

Yes, you are correct. I'm planning on torquing the C5 adaptor to the hub with C4 specs.
The C5 caliper bracket to the adaptor with C5 specs. I'll hand tight the calipers to the bracket (23 lbs)
