Do I have all the parts I need? 5 lug swap

Alright here's the deal.. I have an 87 s4 Base, Bought all 4 hubs, calipers, and brake rotors from an 87 TII.. is this all I need for the 5 lug swap? what about brake dust shields? I'm assuming they are different sizes since the TII has bigger brakes... do I just run without them? thanks!

I believe you also need the hardlines for the front.

You need caliper pipes (hard lines) and brake hoses (soft lines for the fronts) I'm not sure but I belive all the rears are the same as far as brake lines.

Re: Dust Covers

Depends...do you want brake dust everywhere? And I'm not sure about our cars, but some cars use the dust cover to route air to help cool the brakes.
