2 veins...
I always tighten them until 2 veins pop out on my forehead. Ok, that's un-scientific. I'm not sure on those bolts exactly, but the Audi factory manual says 90 lbft on the carrier to strut bolts, and that's about 3 veins.
Sorry, not much help...

Hey, Rich. DId you perform the "reversed bleeder screws mod" to fit the Stoptechs?
My buddy has been contemplating doing it, as well, but wanted to make sure the trick worked beforehand. What else have you done to your Quat?

I got the calipers from StopTech setup for 'leading strut' mounting.
I did do the bleeder reversal on a set of boxster calipers that I took off my A4 and put on my urS6. That worked fine. Looks like the same setup for the ST40 caliper but I didn't have to do it.
