Painted my calipers with this http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/g2/caliper_paint.jsp this weekend. Came out great, I now have nice shiny black calipers. My question is What is the torque spec for the brake caliper bolts on a 2003 GT?

A torque is measured in ft.lbs, not psi (psi is pressure)

To answer your question, the bolts that hold the caliper to the bracket should be torqued to 85 ft.lb.

Post a pic of you calipers. I painted mine performacne red to match the car.

85ft-lbs???

85? that seems awfully high. The wheel bolts get 95 and they are twice the size. May i ask where you got that number? My internet research comes up with 30-35 ft-lbs.
