Stoptech 02 kit install on 06 mcs

so I've got a stoptech bbk en route that was originally installed on an 02 kit. The kit is shipping with front and rear stainless lines. From what I gather the rear lines will not work with my existing early 06 build mcs. However does any one know if the fronts will work?

Next question is what rear pads would you suggest and should I scoop up some powerslot rear rotors as well? I want to keep an even brake bias throughout the swap.

Many of the 02 cars had rear hoses with banjo bolts to the caliper. You will probably need to get new rear hoses now with "direct thread" on them which screw right into the caliper body.

I think with the 5mm spacers you would be okay....those "should" clear.
