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.

Since your not rebuilding the calipers, the slide pins should be greased. Also the pad retainers, shims, & brake pads should have molykote or equal applied. You probably wont be using molykote since it's about $125(cost) from Honda, almost any product found at the parts store for this purpose will work. Make sure to replace (2) washers per side for the brake line connection(@ caliper). You will also need to bleed the brakes, if not flush the fluid.
