All of what you listed plus the 190 hoses. However when I did mine I didn't need them plenty of slack on full lock on the old hoses; it seems to vary from car to car.

I thoroughly recommend the upgrade, immense satisfaction from the uprated performance and aesthetics.

Pics when you're done please

Thanks for that do you not need to change the backing plate around the hub

No need to change the backing plate, no. New discs slide right in front of it no problem at all, literally is a straight swap.
