Yes sir, 1999 so stud torque is 140ft lbs.

And the washer is leaving me skeptical. It's not the first time I've gotten parts from rockauto that said they would fit and in fact would not. I know full well these bolts will fit the V6, but I have brembos. I've already compressed the suspension to the max doing so, and I heard the jackstands creak the other evening. I'd say they are plenty tight, but I'm 2 threads shy of the bolt protruding like the OEM bolts.

I can't get my impact in there and won't try. It is capable of tightening to 300ft lbs. I've sheared off numerous 16mm bolts with it. If I can't get this angle set, I'll swing by the GM dealer on lunch and grab some bolts.

This is the only vehicle over ever owned that recommended replacement of caliper bracket bolts. With mine being a touch chewed up, I'm not going to risk it. Otherwise I would probably do what you did and just reuse them.
