If these bolts are only 90Nm why are they so tight? Just exposed corrosion? Why does it need +90 degrees? Why don't they just set the torque setting to a higher value? Never heard of +(angle) in addition to a setting before.Yeah, 90Nm + 90 degrees. It is always recommended you replace bolts that have additional degree turn after torquing as they tend to stretch.

The reason for it is to get a more consistent stretch in the bolts. Since a torque wrench senses friction, there are a lot of variables that can affect proper tightening, especially as the torque spec increases.
By only using the torque wrench for a small initial torque to seat the bolt, and then turning the bolt a certain number of degrees of rotation, the manufacturer can be pretty sure that the correct stretch will apply to the bolt. An example would be to tighten the bolt to 20 lb ft and then turn it an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn) There are torque angle tools available that will work with a standard ratchet and enable you to accurately measure the number of degrees you are turning the bolt.

Honestly... I can't tell any difference what so ever but these were purchased purely for looks and the added protection coatingAgreed they look the part but is the braking any better?
