Default About to pull the trigger on the A8 kit from PureMS... any last-minute suggestions?

My front brake pads are about gone and I figure might as well go A8 since the rotors look OEM at 109+k miles.

What should I get along with the kit and pads?

Car = 97 2.8 FWD

How about -
Motul Dot 5.1 Brake Fluid for $6.49/500ml
(How many would I need?)
Anything else?

Just want to save on shipping/labor - might as well do everything right the first time.

SS brake lines are what I am considering too.

Related question - are stock brake lines okay with A8 upgrade?

Pick up some good brake grease for the new slider pins
