Installing LS brakes, what do I need to go purchase beforehand?
I'm taking my car to my friend's Budget Brakes he runs to have my LS brakes installed on my SC. I have the calipers of course, the uber skinny long bolts or whatever that came with them, the pads, and all that, and I bought the LS mounting bolts so I have the correct length bolts. So aside from badass stainless brake lines for wow factor, what else do I need to go pick up before I take these to him, and find out I missed a part and the install can't be completed? I guess just copper crush washers? Is there anything you guys suggest I replace while I'm doing it for good preventative maintenance?

Small things such as banjo fitting copper crush washers, proper shims for pads, anti-squeal grease, dremel to trim small amount from caliper as well as dust cover, 8mm bolt to remove old rotors from hub, and ATE super blue brake fluid! (optional 
)
Oh, and if you're rebuilding the calipers, order those parts as well. I did! Remember to take it easy on the first few miles until the pads and rotors break in properly.
