Pro-Tips:

Use some lug nuts on each corner to keep the brake rotors held firmly in place during the bleeding process, you don't want your rotors moving about while bleeding.

When you get to the bleeding process for the front Calipers, you will need to remove the upper caliper bolt and keep the lower bolt slightly loose. Also ensure you have some slack in your brake line. Then tilt the Caliper forward to put the bleeder valves as close to vertical as possible. This will help ensure all the air escapes from the caliper body during the bleed process. (Ask me how I discovered this).

The Brembo calipers in the rear use different Bolts, make sure you have those.

Each caliper has an inside and outside bleeder valve, always bleed the outside valve first and work your way to the inside.

If you're installing SS brake lines, make sure there's no rubbing issues with the lines when turning the wheel from lock to lock (or stop to stop). Re-route the lines as needed to ensure the brake line won't make contact with the rotor or wheel/tire.

Good Luck and have fun with the install!
