That info and all the other specs can be found here.

I've used this for a while, to Mr. Franker.

Do they have any info on a '99 Z28? Or should it be about the same?

I am in the mindset that they should be torqued the same. After all thr two calipers aren't really all that different. I'll check my Haynes manual for the 99's actual spec's though.

[edit]

Well, I was wrong they should be torqued at 23 pounds instead of the 38 pounds listed for the pre-97 models.

Hope this helps.

yeah, tighten until you lose circulation and just before you strip threads.
