On the brake flush... I bought a little hand vacuum device that makes bleeding a one-man job and relatively easy. I think it was less than $50. You might want to consider this a DIY job if you have the time. I flush all of my vehicles every two years.
Several years ago Sport Compact Car did a test on several aftermarket braking systems on a specific test car. After they were done with swapping calipers several times they put the stock calipers and rotors back on and got a significant improvement in stopping distance, I believe it may have even been better than the aftermarket systems! The conclusion of the article was that braking power had increased because of several flushes of the brake fluid when they were changing calipers. Before the testing the brake fluid had not been flushed for several years. Thus they recommended forgoing any of the aftermarket systems and just flushing your brake fluid, at least it's a good and cheap start!!!
