Brake Upgrade

Ok, so its finally time to upgrade the front brakes on my 91 RS. It has never stopped worth a darn. Here is my plan and looking for any suggestions.

Wheel Bearings

Rotors

Stainless Brake Hose Kit

Pads
I have a decent set of raybestos pads been laying around for while. Planning on using those.

Calipers - I'd like to replace mine, but I'm not ready to spend $400 on a nice set. Should I go with the cheap reman Bendix or ??? http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Also, I know my Caliper bolts are stuck in place which is also another good reason to do it all at once. It would be nice to stop again. I'm looking for any input or suggestions.

Thanks

Note that while the above pic shows a dual piston, 1LE-type caliper what you'll get is a stock replacement.

Right, thats what I assumed it would be a single piston caliper.
