Anyone know off the top of their head what the torque specs are for KVR's two piece rotor? They don't open till 8:30am EST, and don't include instructions with the parts :rolleyes:

the kids at kvr say 10ft-lb ..

that's what I thought... so I called back and checked again.. .then confirmed with an e-mail, then doublechecked with the ford tech, and he thinks, since it's a lot of small bolts, it should be fine.

if it isn't it sure isn't my fault :P

trust me, I'm giving everyone a chance to screw up royally so i can get me a new car :D

good enough for me! :D

now I have nice slotted rotors on the front, and cheesy cross drilled on the rear... and when they wear out I can replace them with the oem pie plates.

the rear discs came with advance trac.. I got the advance trac for the rear discs, not fully realizing how cool that little piece of electronic wizardry is.

but I cannot lock up my rear wheels with the e-brake... go figure.

So it;s worthless. The only good thing about the Focus is being able to do nice slides in the winter.

well, there's the scandinavian flick, and a little trick you can do with the advance-trac. ;)

Strange....I can lock up my rear discs no problem with the ebrake.

with the car in motion, I have not been able to make the brakes lock up on dry pavement... though I didn't really yank on it too hard.

On the other hand, the slightest yank on the e-brake puts an sx2.0 into full out rear wheel lockup.

Where'd you get the sx 2.0 from?
