umm, go to your local brake place in your area, and they should hook you up, unless you have upgraded and need bigger brakes, autozone and whatnot should be great help

So you want drilled/slotted or plain flat rotors, zinc treated so they don't rust (drilled rotors make a bit more noise, a bit less braking surface but they look good).

I don't like Hawk HPS pads because they need a second or so to warm up then they grip well. The OEM pads are ceramic. I just replaced my third set of pads with ceramic. Real happy.

For brake lines, you probably mean Stainless Steel (SS) lines. Pedal feel is much better. No more sponge like feeling.

The caliper is the part many will paint and put letters on. Most high temperature high gloss paint will do. Calipers get hot like your engine block but not like your exhaust. So don't waste money on 2000 degree paint. 500-600 degree is ok.

Check on Ebay or the group deals.
