You might need a few incidentals, like clips and springs and such, maybe some pad wear sensors, but you've got the basics. You might want to check on the parking brake drums to see what kind of shape they're in, as well as adjust the parking brake itself.

Right, I am sure my mech can take care of that.... and u r right, I almost forgot... they told me before its a pain to JUST adjust the p-brake, but while they do this job, I will ask that bec its gotten loose again, makes me feel uneasy on the steep driveways I need to park sometimes.
