Default Torque Spec Caliper bolts?

The torque spec thread in FAQ doesn't come up anymore, does someone know the spec for the caliper bolts. Thanks

The big bolts that hold the caliper on are 125 lb-ft.

The caliper pins are much less - I'm not positive, but it's something like 20 lb-ft.

If you use a bracket, the side bracket bolts are 90 ft/lb. The main ones are 130, although 125 seems the most popular number. The color of loctite is green, by GM. If you are using aftermarket brakes, use red locktite.
