Caliper torque spec and brake line upgrade

[biggles15]

Hello
I'm going to remove my calipers and overhaul. Much appreciated if someone could provide me with bracket to hub and caliper to bracket torque spec. I have the larger calipers - 188mm pads with 320mm disc.

Also want to upgrade the brake lines to stainless. All the suppliers seem to be USA based ? Are there any UK based companies out there ?

Cheers

I can't help with the torques, but wonder what is wrong with kunifer brake lines? How long do you expect to keep this car? Is it a cosmetic thing? If so, lets be seeing this car please.

Pic of car below its an 09 sline quattro in dark grey with the V6 petrol. Also attached pic of the brake caliper when I did the brakes (they need a coat of paint I think!). It's the rubber lines I want to replace from capiler to rigid line. Noticed the passenger side is weeping at the crimp! Thought I may as well upgrade to stainless whilst replacing which should give better feedback? For a car with 265hp the brakes are shocking!!

Now I understand. Stainless braided flexible hoses are probably a good plan however, would you not think of upgrading the calipers if the brakes are so shocking,
and do the hoses to fit the upgraded calipers?

what pads are you using when you say the brakes are shocking.

Brakes on the A4 can be vague (from my experience!). When did you flush the brake fluid last ?
