thx for the answer but I just wonder why there such big difference?
I'm not sure... I know the WRX rotors are slightly larger, but I'm pretty sure that in the 02, the calipers were the same. I actually torque mine to about 30 ft-lb anyway... I can't say I'd recommend that though, broken bolts suck.
Being bigger brakes, the components have to be sturdier. This is how i understand it.
Good luck

so how come torque for rear caliper is as tough as front one for turbo. the rear handles about 10% of braking power.
