As a general rule the thicker the diameter, the higher the torque. I normally go about 30nm for the guide pins and up to 90nm for the anchor plate bolts.
Never had a problem. |

Yes, they are the ones. From the specs it looks like 115nm for the fronts and 92nm max for the rears.

The 13mm ones? has the slide pins in them with rubber boot?
Not overly tight, never really torque them, just by feel. Probably somewhere around the 30-40nm i guess.
