Firstly, I hope You had jack stands under the car, as You shouldn't trust hydraulic jacks, they can go down at any time.
Don't forget the brake hoses, two at the front & two at the rear... not expensive either... and while You had the front in the air, did You pump
some grease into the front torsion bars as there are needle roller bearings in there. I recommend the use of Lithium based grease... its
excellent.
Unlike soap based chassis grease...
Good photo, I wish I had thought to take one when replacing brake cylinders etc....
cheers
Lee
