So, I'm getting ready to get some Akebonos as an I love me gift. I was wondering if the shorter banjo bolts can be picked up at any Napa, AdvanceAuto, etc, or do I specifically need the Technafit bolts? Thanks.

I hate rusty rotor caps so I'd like to get the right ones the first time.

The second one (Centric Premiums) are used often around here and get solid reviews.
That rust prevention coating (e-coating) does a decent job, but rust will still come through after a couple years. You could add an additional few coats of something like VHT Flameproof paint, just tape off most of the pad contact area leaving about a 1/8 to 1/4" of the pad area exposed so the pads will cut a clean line into the paint when you get them installed. this should greatly extend your rust proofing.

No rust on the caps anyway...

Anyone have a nice diy for swapping to akebono brakes from standard oem? I have some I am rebuilding the seals on now and wondering what the best method is to install these.
I got new SS brake lines
New rotors for front rear
New pads
Never done brakes before besides replacing pads.
