Brake caliper mounting torque specs - 20' SS / 2SS

The manual only mentions specs for the front caliper torque specs @ 148 ft lb (pg 161). I cannot find what the rear caliper mounting bolts need to be torqued to. If anyone has access to the specs it would be great. 2020 is different than other close year models. They are the brembo calipers that come stock on the 20' SS.

Thanks!

Fronts call for an angle torque wrench :
First Pass: 150 Nm (111 lb ft)
Final Pass: 15-30 degrees

Rears are straight forward :
Brake Caliper Bolt (1) » Install [2x] 125 Nm (92 lb ft)

It also states this for the bolts : Apply threadlocker to 2/3 of the threaded length of the caliper bolts

Appreciate it Boost! The parts have been in my garage for 2 weeks, while I was looking for that damn spec.

I saw TTY on some other year models for the front, thank you for confirming this on the 20'. I'll buy some new bolts before the pad and rotor replacement.

It's impossible to get back to 150 with floor jacks.
