replace rear calipers and MC while installing Spoon front calipers,new pads, lines?
Hey guys I finally got all 4 wheels in and got them wrapped in tires yesterday so I was going to install the Spoon front calipers, Goodridge SS brake lines, new OEM pads and Stoptech rotors today but i was thinking the MC and rear calipers are probably the originals from 2003.
That being the case, since I'll already have everything torn apart would it make sense to just replace the rear calipers and master cylinder with new OEM while I'm at it so everything is brand new? I do not think either of those are leaking but just for peace of mind or something.

I wouldn't. If its a part that is hard to get to later, then I'll do the 'while I'm in there' sequence of replacing other stuff.
But mc and rear calipers are hardy, and no harder to get to later. Only advantage is you're going to have to do a thorough brake bleed after spoon calipers and lines installed, and you'll also need to bleed if you ever have to replace mc or rear calipers. But its not that much work saved.
I'd maybe consider replacing rear lines however. Thise are much more likely to age out and have issues than calipers or mc.

Just realized I forgot to order pads and no nearby stealerships have the rears in stock... more waiting
