Calipers going back on

Got all my calipers off, stripped of shabby red paint and powder coated black with new decals. About to all go back on but I can't remember is the longer bolts are for the front or the rear hangers (bolts pictured below).

 

Also, should I copper grease all the bolts before putting them back on so they don't corrode, or threadlock them so they don't work loose? I was going to the thread lock them but they were already covered in a silver type grease before I cleaned them all off.

well, brakes back on, bled the system and all seems good apart from the rears seem to be dragging slightly. Stuck for ideas as the entire system is new (seals, sliding pins etc).

 

The pads are brad new CW fast road pads, do they need to wear down a bit from new? Or is there something I am not doing right?

 

oh, and I didn't thread lock them in the end just torqued. I am sure I read a post on here somewhere that said make sure they are threadlocked. :p
