Looking for the two lower bolts that hold the two halves of the caliper together...

8mm, i believe.. 15mm length. not hard to find (double check the length).
IIRC they are 8.8. I've had no problem using A2 stainless for this location as they are just olding the two halves together, not under much torque.
The bolt head says M 10.9 and it's about 45mm in length. I'm worried about getting just any old bolt because of the heat it's subjected to...

i am surprised they are using 10.9 there, but that's fine. that's longer than i thought though.
A4 stainless is mostly equivalent to 10.9 (A4 not A2) but you can find 10.9 or even 12.x series bolts around.
If you really want to be anal, buy some 12.8 bolts with the Dacromet coating. heat, chemical, friction, radiation, and Beezlebub resistant. might be harder to find.
Maryland Metrics has plenty of bolts of all sizes.
If you know what you need, call Mr Metric in Sj, he'll have them. Have to call them ahead of time, they do will call only.
Thanks for the tips everyone...I got lucky at Munroe's as they had just taken apart a caliper for parts and I got to take the bolts I needed.
