Default ordered a pair of Precision calipers

I got them coming 2nd day UPS so they should be here Friday ----so I'll be :smash: this weekend---- I'm going to buy new hoses locally --- any recommendations on brake fluid? Any other parts I should buy? Any hints/tips/it-happened-to-me's on the remove and/or replace?

I'm going to do the fronts first and the rears soon.

1. Install braided hoses.
2. Install new pads - I like Performance Friction Z compound.
3. Replace fluid - I like Castrol LMA DOT 3 but the important thing is to replace it.
4. Be certain that you get all the air out of the lines.

Will - are braded hoses sold at most auto parts stores? If not, any idea where I can get a pair locally?

With the calipers and rubber lines off the car, flush the hard lines until the fluid runs clear.
