Stock or slotted. Slotted are generally a lot more $$. DOT stainless front & back. The set is less expensive than just the factory front rubber. Don’t forget the caliper paint; I did the coupe in “Chevy Orange”. All the repair manuals I’ve seen have "to scale drawings" of the piston gauge. Unless Kurt tried already, push the piston back into the caliper & then press the brake pedal. Sometimes they will “stick” from sitting to long. Works especially well with new pads, you use a different part of the cylinder

Bill, bleeder on top. Rubber hose goes from chassis to strut, metal from strut to pretty much center mount on caliper. Upside down will work but bleeding can be a bit tricky. No, don't do that! Check the other side, may be they have a matched set! & yes I've done that, but didn't go past the "bleeding" part.
