Steve, I don't see the need for new caliper bolts. I have never heard of them breaking, and unless they come out very rusty/corroded, I'd just re-use them.

Larry, when I replaced my OEM rotors with the AP Racing variety I got spacers from CDOC along with longer bolts. I needed them to fit the larger disc. The instructions did say, however, to replace the bolts any time the rotor was changed. I asked CDOC about that and the answer I got was that the race teams just don't do that. I guess it falls into the category of a Good Idea that is not followed by many.
