I haven't ever seen the installation instructions for the DBB set up, but I would imagine that the torque settings will be the same as that of the Stoptech kit. All the torque info and details of which bolts require loctite are in the installation PDF's I sent you by email a few weeks back.

I wasn't sure either so I did a Google Search, I'm guessing it's neither of these...

but google gives 20,700,000 results for ARP, people cant be expected to check every single one to be sure the third one is the most relevant.

ARP are the black studs with the HEX in the end...

BLOODY strong bolts/studs..... I HOPE changed my head bolts for ARP studs
