92 RS 305 Help with all new brakes project

Took my 92 to the shop yesterday and got it up on the rack so I could see what issues it has. Unfortunately I need everything. Front brakes, rear brakes, wheel cylinders, rear brake lines, along with some other stuff non-brake related.

I have it parked and am planning on doing all of it at once. I need help picking out the parts. I want to get all new rotors, calipers, pads, and lines for the front, plus drums, shoes, and lines for the rear. Basically I need everything.

The guy at the shop said they don't make rear lines anymore and that I'd need to pay for 10 hours of labor for them to make them. I then see on classicindustries site that they have lines for sale. Was he BSing me or am I missing something?

Here's what I want. Will this get me every single thing I need? I'm wondering if there are other things like wheel bearings or anything not included in the kits?

Also - This is a daily driver car that I am slowly putting "nice" parts on. Nothing high-performance or super expensive. Just something as good as or better than stock, that looks nice so at some point I can enter some local shows for fun.

Also also - Are there other things I should do when I have the old stuff off, like shocks/struts/springs/bushings/etc... or is it just as easy(hard) to do it later on?

Front:
1.Lines - http://www.classicindustries.com/product/1992/camaro/parts/fkt8901s.html
- this kit seems to be a complete kit according to the description?
2.Brakes/rotors/caliper kit - http://www.jegs.com/i/Power-Stop/419/KC1482/10002/-1

Rear:
1.Lines - http://www.classicindustries.com/pro.../fin8601s.html
- does this kit have both lines? will it have everything I need to replace the lines from front to back?
2.Drums/kit - http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/more...nid=517&jpid=0

Basically if I buy these 4 things, will I have everything I need minus brake fluid, to have all new brakes/lines?

Re: 92 RS 305 Help with all new brakes project

Rear brake line kit looks like it is only front to back, not the left and right side on the axle.. Either Junk Yard or Make your own if they need replacing as far as I know and fairly easy to do, not 10 hours tho. Rubber rear center line is not included as well.. or side line if needed..

Front lines look right. Still you need the rubber end lines tho.. Front and back if necessary.. But do you really need the complete steel lines? not just the rubber?

In my opinion why buy that front brake kit from jegs, just get it all from rock auto with all your rear stuff, doubt you'd notice that much difference on the street.

Shocks, Struts, and other items are pretty easy to do any time with the correct tools..

Tip - Get speed bleeders from rock auto while ordering, especially helpful on the rear drums.. and look for items with factory rebates.

Be prepared to spend a bit of time doing this project if outside on the ground.. Also the rear wheel cylinders are a bit of a pain 1st time round.. Clip on and off.. I used two nails to pop the clip off and a large socket to pound it in all the way.. make sure the tabs are bottomed out..
