I believe it needs to be torqued to 30lbft on front calipers and 40lbft in the rear. You should double-check my numbers before tightening as I just found these numbers in three different places that were all NOT the service manual.
Did you check that the mounting surface on the caliper and the face of the bolt are both perfectly flat and smooth and clean?
What manufacturer is the new caliper?
