yep, those are the ones, i'm going to put on my jamex springs and shocks tomorrow, also the torque wrench settings for the caliper carrier would be handy

those 3 bolts and the brake carrier to strut bolts are 81 ft/lbs. you are supposed to use retaining compound on the 3 bolts for vibration resistance.
the other things you will need values for is...
3 13mm self locking nuts on the mounts, 16 ft/lbs
large self locking nut holding shock to mount, new shock specific (maybe 48 ft/lbs)
swaybar link to strut, 48 ft/lbs (yes the manual says 43 but its just not enough!)
brake carrier guide bolt to caliper, 26 ft/lbs
