Default Z51 Caliper bracket torque spec?

Just as the title states I need the torque specs for the Z51 caliper brackets and any other useful info related to changing out the base rotors for the Z51 rotors.Is it necessary to change to the Z51 pads or can I use the pads from the base brakes I currently have?
Thanks for your help.

caliper to mounting braket bolts are torqued at 125 lbs.

the Z51 calipers are the same as the C5 and C6 calipers ( made by PBR in AUstralia). The Z51 calipers have a larger mounting braket to accomidate the larger front rotor.

This larger braket can be purchased from a chevy dealer.
