Hey 6gc,

I wanted to know what else I should do with the new brakes I got. I got some Brembo Blanks in the front and rear and the ebc redstuff brake pads all around, SS brakelines, and I'm going to paint the calipers. I'm waiting on the rear rotors because they are on back order, but in the meantime what should I get? new pins or other parts? I was originally going to do the st205 brakes, but I gave up on the idea and just went with this. I've never replaced my brakes before, so any advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

If you're going to give it to your sister, then just stay with the stock calipers. They are fine and do a good job with braking as it is.
I just have the MR2 calipers because 1) they bolt right onto the caliper bracket and 2) I like to do autocross and etc so it will help distribute the braking more evenly between the front and rear.
There's no point in doing more than rotors and pads because those will be good enough for regular driving.
