I'm looking at ordering parts to do a front brake job. Was hoping to take advantage of the IPD sale that ends today, if possible. I haven't done front brakes on this car before, but I did the rear brakes last year.

In terms of parts, is it standard practice to replace the caliper hardware? There is a kit available that seems to include four pins, four rubber boots, and four bolts. I replaced the hardware for the rear brakes when I did that job, but the kit was quite a bit cheaper. I wonder if this is an "as needed" part for the front, or if I should go ahead an order it along with rotors, fluid, pads, and lines (the rubber is cracked on my current ones).

advice? thanks
