Thanks for the responses! I'll try to answer the questions:

I'll probably go ahead and do the rears while I'm at it (new rotors/shoes). That's what I was originally planning, but through reading, thought it might be something I could get away with.

I intend on bleeding everything out. I hopefully won't have to readjust the proportioning valve.

I'm trying to do fast, and reasonably priced...not looking for race car parts, but def. want to do stuff that's going to last. I don't mind spending more money if it's worth it, but hoping to be able to get the stuff purchased/installed in next couple of nights.

thanks again!
