Get all parts like hunting down brake line washers ,brake hard wear kit. Wrong get them on frigging banjo bolt stripps out caliper now junk , now i have to buy calipers ,man it came with all that stuff -man so pissed , should of just got new calipers from the get-go lesson leard , advice to any one think off doing the swap.
