then just bleed the brakes, just be sure to get the calipers the right way round else the bleed nipple it on the bottom and needs to be on the top.

no nothing, they just fit straight on the std hubs, it\'s not like the V6 conversion, be sure to clean the mating faces of the disc, hub and wheel when fitting, and when you bleed the brakes only push the pedal 3/4 of the way down, if you go the whole way you can damage the deal on the Master cylinder.
