The FSM does not appear to specify the torque for these bolts on the sport brakes.

There are similar bolts (2 instead of 4) on the base brake calipers. Pages BR-39 (for front) and BR-52 (for rear) in my 2011 FSM specify 20 ft-lbs and 32 ft-lbs, respectively, for these bolts. Something in that range seems like it should be safe for the sport brake calipers. Not sure why the rear is supposed to be torqued more than the front, but I'd probably just split the difference on both F/R (~25 ft-lbs).
