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.

So in short, yes you need them
