What about that stuff at Lowe's? Silver on each side with bubble wrap in between? Works great and it's cheap.

this is an easy one (or two).. having trouble finding a definite answer

I'm replacing the brake calipers today. I'm not doing anything to the rear brakes but do I still have to bleed at all four ends to get any air out that might get into the system? Any tips to make this is unfrustrating as possible?

Also.. I replaced my pads and rotors less than 1000 miles ago, which is when I realized one of my calipers was on its way out, and I decided to go with the stainless steel piston over the plastic/composite ones that are on my jeep now. Are brake pads interchangeable with these two types of calipers? It looks like the hole in the piston is a lot larger on the stainless one. I don't want to get started and then be stuck without a way to get to the parts store.
