I can get the specs for you later tonight from my shop manual, but fyi, I couldn't find it anywhere including mulitple hardware stores and Fastenall. Was forced to get it from a Chevy dealer at $8/each.

Supposedly you can reuse the bolts IF you apply a drop or two of red thread locker on the bolts. Torque required is 125 #

M8x1.25
GM part #14067559
Torque to 23 lb ft (Never over torque)

Caliper bracket mounting bolts (These are large bolts)
GM part number 14084051

So it's 2 of each bolt per caliper that should be replaced, is it the same for the rear calipers?

Yes,
for the rear, it's exactly the same two bolts per side.

Default Don't need to replace them

Unless you break them.

Exactly, just the pins that the bolts go into are different front to rear. Just in case someone orders the bolt and pin set. Autozone carries them at about $7 per set.
