Question reading to break swap thanks

I am going to do a whole gsr break setup sawp on my Ek hatch. ( I am going to ask people do that for me) I have two questons actually,

Firstly, the question is what else am I missing:
I have, whole set of gsr break, front and back. New rotor, pads and breakline for all four corners. I also got breaking booster.
The only thing I know that I might needed is the pro-valve.
what else am I missing?

second is what's the price for doing this operation?

thank you

parking brake cables, if you are using the BB you need the master cylinder as well. (im prety sure)

and I assume you have the whole unit for the rear? not just the rotors and pads.. lol

All EK hatch use 40/40 PV, so don't worry about it. MC usually comes with BB when people sell them used. If you don't have it, you can get a 15/16" one.

Parking cable, use SiR ones or else GSR might be too long (or too short).

Price wise, this swapping also involves bleeding and alignment (if you are taking out the trailing arm, which most people do, easier that way). Expect 300 to 400.

It is really not that hard then when you have all the parts.

Make sure you find a shop that does the work with in-house alignment as well, to save you hassle from going to two places.

BUT, if you can't, that's no biggy, just make sure you get alignment done asap.
