Z51 Brake brackets

I just bought the Z51 upgrade kit from Gene Culley. What is the proper torque for the bolts/nuts on the caliper brackets? Also I always tighten lugnuts by hand what is the torque on the lug nuts as well?

Thanks.

The brake caliper brackets for my C5 were 125 lbs torque, plus it was highly recommended that you use a drop of red loctite. I would imagine the C6 is about the same. Hopefully, someone can confirm.

I am not sure if that is true with these bolts or not. If you are reusing the bolts, clean the threads before putting new loctite on.
