I am 110% positive that the caliper bolts are one time use only. When I did my brakes the dealer told me to buy new bolts. I did not listen. Then suncoast told me to buy new bolts, I did not listen. Then i had the issue, tightened them a few times only to have them shake loose. Got new bolts, cost of about 20$, looked at them, they are covered with a green coating.
put the new ones in, tightened to specs, and never had another issue.

part number 999.067.041.09

just from an educational standpoint, Google "replace caliper bolts boxster"
and see what comes up.
