LCR Brembo Bolts Loose ?

[M20FES]

When I installed my LCR Brembos, I cleaned the thread on the hub and used new bolts for the caliper carrier. Problem ive got is I think the bolts keep coming loose giving me bad vibration under braking similar effect of warped discs.

Should I use some Loctite or something similar on the bolts to keep them in place better like a rusty bolt would.

Anyone know the procedure when installing new carrier bolts ?

They should definitely have threadlock on them.

See i dont think the bolts i got from seat had the blue paint on them.

Ive just picked up some Loctite threadlocker from halfords

Do they come with the paint when you replace them?

I know they definitely need threadlock coz I've fitted them without before and the bolts eventually come loose

It's not paint, it's thread locking compound

Torque setting should be 125 Nm.

so was it juddering before and after new discs ? did you put on new pads too ?

 

[M20FES]

tighten all the bolts up with threadlock and still judder under braking

there was me thinking te EBC ultimax discs and DS-2500 would be a good setup. looks like ive just pissed £300 down the toilet

Are you sure its juddering and its not just the slots in the pads you can feel? They do kind of throb a bit.

Did you make sure the pad sliders had no corrosion under them and the pads are free to move? I tend to file about 1mm off DS2500s so they're loose in the sliders. Gives them a bit of wiggle room when everything is hot
Make sure the hub was perfectly clean before fitting the discs?

In all my years threadlock as never been used on carrier bolts.
I'm thinking the threads are worn.

When I did my fronts two years ago I just did the bolts up FT, and when I changed the discs and pads this last weekend gone they were still FT! Mine did have the blue on them from when they were first installed so threadlock probably isn't a bad idea.

 

[M20FES]

thread locked them and its still doing it so its not that

 

[LEE69]

Is it both sides?
