Default About to place order for parts for a brake job. What else do I need?

Here's what I am ordering from ECS for a rotor and pad replacement:

ECS Slotted/Cross-Drilled Rotor - 12.3 (312x25) - pair, zinc or cadmium plated ES#481
ECS Cross Drilled/Slotted Rotor, Rear - 10.1 (256x22) - pair, zinc or cadmium plated ES#485
Mintex Red Box Pads(front) - set with wear sensors ES#403
Mintex Red Box Pads (set of 4 pads) ES#396
OEM Brake Rotor Screw (6x15 concave screw with Phillips head)-Priced Each ES#2634

Anything I am missing? I am having a local tuning shop do the work (too damn busy to do it myself and it needs to be done relatively soon as my low pad warning is on) so I am not worrying about any special tools.

The front rotors are backordered but I just called ECS and they are saying they will be in some time next week. Placing the order today so I can hopefully get a set when they come in.

Looks good to me too. Would be glad to help but can't even get to my projects either.

Yeah I suppose; just did that last year but might as well do it while they are at it.

Default Thanks John

GRD is doing the work. I think I am going to have them do the timing belt at the same time while the car is there, since it is almost about due for that. I think you had them do yours? If so, what did they charge you?
