Yes.

I’m almost tempted to replace them, but I understand they are some sort of “Super Grade 8” bolt.

OTOH, as long as either I or my 400-mile-away mechanic buddy always do the brake jobs, no way during my ownership will the bolts ever be torqued in at 180 lb-ft!

(I’m going to pick up a torque wrench too.)

I am a firm believer in torquing to spec. BTW, 180ft/lbs is about twice as tight as a normal passenger vehicle lug bolt tightness. But factory spec is always best and lets you sleep at night. Just don’t let your wife tighten them!
