Go to forum member David Farmer's excellent website for all your torque specs:

Edited: I just looked at David's torque specs for the C6. The spec I listed above is for my C6 Z06, but he has 125 ft-lbs listed for a C6. I think that is out of the 2005 manual - I think GM changed the spec to 129 for all models of the C6 in 2006. However.....4 ft-lbs in that range of torque is a very small amount and probably doesn't matter much. I'd recommend 129 for all caliper bolts.
