Default Caliper Bolts

Does anyone know if the front and rear caliper bolts are the same part numbers? This is for an 04 Coupe BTW.

Here's the front bolt part num: GM# 14084051

Thanks

Default The LARGE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLTS are torqued to 125 ft# not the small ones (pads)

The large bolts which hold the caliper brackets on are red locktited and torqued to 125 ft#. Don't even think of tightning the small ones which hold the pads on to that level of torque or you will be looking for broken bolt extractors.
