If you mean the two "caliper mounting guide pin bolts" on the rear calipers (2 per rear caliper)...2001 manual says to tighten them to 33 N.m (24 ft. lbs.) torque.

If you have removed the front calipers from the steering knuckle, "Tighten the caliper to steering knuckle attaching bolts to a torque of 115 N.m(85 ft. lbs.).

If you have removed the rear caliper adapter:
"(1) Place the adapter over brake rotor and align adapter mounting holes to knuckle.
(2) Install adapter mounting bolts and tighten to 115 N.m (85 ft. lbs.) torque."

You are welcome !! I did add the "rest of the values" in an "edit" as it dawned on me (EVER SO SLOWLY) that you MIGHT have pulled the rotors off for "conditioning"....admitting that when I put the EBC Greenstuff Pads on wife's 01 GTS yesterday...I CHEATED and "scuffed" rotors with a 3M rotor surfacing kit using a small handheld drill...MUCH harder to get to this job on the rear end of the ABS cars!!!

Take care!!!
