Well, I need to find some parts, and the sooner the better... I'm looking for any (reasonably priced) places that I can get some stainless steel brake lines (95GT), and the rear piston caliper compression tool (used for replacing the rear disk brake pads). any ideas?

A lot of parts stores carry a very simple unit for doing this...they are nowhere near as nice as a Snap On or Matco, but they do work, and are very cheap. Here's what they look like:



Should be able to find them at any Napa, Shmucks, etc...

Yea, they do suck, but eventually they work. Good thing to have if your only gonna use it once in a great while.

That tool sucks. I threw it across the garage and grabbed a pair of nice stubby craftsman needle nose pliers. Set the tips in the piston notches and twist with a screwdriver between the handles for leverage. Done in a minute and with a useful tool.

btw I tried that cheap ass tool, it sucks, lots of people just use a good set of needle nose pliers. as far as SS lines, I'll go to brads.
