Small things make a big difference.
Hi All,
I ordered the polished bolt kit from Diamond Engineering. I planned to replace the bolts when I change dmy new pads. Today was the day and here are the results.
Before (left side)
After (Right side-forgot to take pictures before I swappe dout this side
)
Pictures don't really do it justice but either way it looks nice for only swapping out 8 bolts.
Only question I have is regarding loctite for the caliper cap screws. There was no threadlocker on the factory ones so I didn't put any on the replacements. Since the cap screws are stainless and the threads of the caliper aluminum I didn't know if I should have put maybe a drop just to be on the safe side. Any ideas?

If I recall I put a tiny (and I mean tiny) amount of blue loctite. No leakage whatsoever, just take out one bolt at a time and replace with new bolt. There was no antiseize on them from the factory.

I can't remember the torque specs I used though. You may want to call and ask. It wasn't a lot if I recall, maybe 10ft.lbs or something like that.
