Replacing rear calipers on 92 civic si
My rear calipers are sticking and I am planning on replacing them with the O.E. rebuit calipers at autozone. I know how to take the calipers off and put them back on I was just wondering if I need to lube anything on the new calipers. Since I am taking the brake system apart I plan on installing Brembo Blanks and AEM pads. Will this be a good setup? Is there anything else I need to replace to make it a completely new brake setup in back( besides S.S. lines)? Also I want to paint the Calipers and the top hat on the rotors black. Can anybody recommend a good quality glossy black paint kit.

If the new caliper is already put together you shouldn't need to lube anything really. Just make sure you bleed the brakes (obviously) after you put the new calipers on. Brembo blanks are fine, not too sure about AEM pads, but I haven't heard anything bad about them before. I have heard good things about hawk pads though . Not sure about brake paint, but you probably want to get something that handles high temps since it gets real hot around the brake assembly. I'm pretty sure they make a paint specifically for painting brake componants, so you might check on that to see if it's what you expect in color and such.
