S14 - STI Brembo Brake Upgrade

My car: 95 240SX SE non-abs (interested in a street/autocross setup)

I would appreciate some help finalizing a parts list for my choice of big brake upgrade. Please help me organize a good list for future forum-crawlers. Let me know if you see mistakes, have info or resources to add, and unresolved questions are highlighted in red. Thanks.

Calipers:
Front: STI (2004-07)(*note that the 2007 STI Special Edition is excluded)
Rear: STI (2004-07)(*note that the 2007 STI Special Edition is excluded)

Note that Brembo gold rotors can be touched up using Honda "Inca Pearl" paint code Y-61P. It is not a heat resistant paint though. Brembo calipers (Suburu) have a 2-step paint process: first a ceramic based paint and then the gold color. If your scratches/paint issues go through the ceramic coating this may only be a band-aid depending on the amount of heat that the particular area sees from brake use.

Front Caliper Brackets: Necessary to fit STI Brembos on your S14.
Sources:
(1) florante rea on Zilvia.net forums
(2) ManoNegra on Zilvia.net forums sells them (light grinding of calipers required). Refer to http://zilvia.net/f/group-buys/30040...-brackets.html
Picture of grinding: http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/6...erground01.jpg

Rear Caliper Shim: Should not be required if you choose Z32 rear rotors.

Rotors: Since these are HUGE compared to stock, you will need to remove or trim the dust shields.
Front: Evo 8/9

Rear: Z32 (1990-1996 300ZX) (note: Evo 8/9 rotors fit, but will not allow the Z32 parking brake assembly to fit)

Brake Lines:
Front:
(1) Z32 "conversion" lines (Are these the same as stock Z32 lines or not?)
(2)
Stock or Stainless STI (2004-07) lines.
(3) S15 Lines may work (anybody know for sure)(Nissan PN?)
(4) R32 Lines may work
(anybody know for sure)(Nissan PN?)
(3) Other options?
Rear: Same as front.
Parking Brake:
(1) R33 cables (necessary for Z32 e-brake assy)(PN
KITR33PAIR from mynismo.com) (Nissan PN??)

Parking Brake Assembly:
(1) Z32
UNISA JECS on zilvi.net sells used assemblies. Refer to http://zilvia.net/f/sale-items/16670...-complete.html
(2) Make a bracket to run a Wilwood mechanical parking brake like Ferrari (fabrication/welding required). Picture: http://www.jegs.com/images/photos/950202280.jpg
(3) Run without it (park it in gear).
(4) Read the $100 hydro e-brake how-to : http://www.zilvia.net/f/tech-talk/93...tml#post842628

Master Cylinder: Needed if you don't want pedal feel to SUCK. Note that some bending of stock brake lines may be necessary.
(1) Plug&Play from FRSport: DIF Tokico Nissan Z32 300ZX Brake Master Cylinder Upgrade for 240SX
(2) Z32 (many choices)(for street/autocross my choice is a 1") Refer to The Definitive 300ZX Brake Swap!

Dual Diaphram Brake Booster: Not necessary, but can improve/change pedal feel/effort required.
(1) S14 with ABS (Nissan PN?)
(2) Z32 (ABS?)(Nissan PN?)

Pads: Evo 8/9 pads are required because STI pads are too thick.

Fluid: Dot 4 only!!! Dot 5 is for racecars.
