dont have that information in front of me, but ls and ss are different brakes but the crude answer is tight; very tight for the caliper to knuckle bolts and quite tight for the caliper to bracket bolts; I am guessing say 35 ft lbs for caliper to knuckle and 20 ft lbs for caliper to bracket respectively
