I did not see any signs of sealant on the rear caliper bolts at all, which is why it was so weird. It seriously felt like they were cross threaded, but once they were out they were in perfect shape... I did clean them before re-installing in my ultra sonic cleaner to be sure, then a quick spray with brake cleaner. I did not re-apply any thread lock or other compound.
I could only find reference to the front caliper bolt, which is a 18mm. I went with 85ft/lbs up front (seems like a lot).
The rears were a 16mm bolt I believe, and I went with 65ft/lbs.
I have ~600 miles on everything, and the car needs an oil change, so I will check torque values in a few weeks to make sure nothing has loosened.
