I'm swapping out the gray calipers to red, and am in need of the torque spec for the caliper mounting bolts. While I'm here, is there anything else I should know about?
THANK YOU in advance!!!! :cheers

I haven't read the section or done the work, so not certain if there's anything else unusual about the process. I'm sure someone will chime in.

Yeah, I've got one.
Why stop there? How about a different color on each wheel! I think I have seen a yellow caliper on someone's car. I say black, yellow, red and gray all the way around.
good n tite also works on those caliper bolts. Most importantly, I would not let the MC drain low enough to let air in from the top side of the system. I've had a hell of a time getting air out of the ABS systems in mustangs. Not sure about the GT's in particular
