all good points, also be careful with the caliper mounts, they are very easy to strip on the steering knuckle. I had to heli-coil one of mine.

Have fun with the drums, they suck to adjust.

I stripped my front caliper bolt too I have bonded pads and shoes, and no problems with mine. I was gonna go with ceramics, but they are waaay to expensive

ceramics have less brake dust to them, but IMO they wear a hell of a lot quicker, and make sure you put never sieze on the caliper bolts and caliper gooves where the caliper slides against the steering knuckle
