need some advice with brakes
so the last 2 weekends ago i got my corvette running again and drove it in the neighborhood for about an hour (slow) with no brakes. So i went ahead and bench bled the master and bled all the brakes, so again i took her out being excited, she will stop if i press all the way down on the brakes, but she takes a while to stop, it feels like im barley pressing it at all because the pedal is soft. i went ahead to bleed the brakes again and this time i found brake fluid everywhere on the front right caliper and the whole inside of the rim, so i went ahead online and bought the following, new calipers, new pads, and new rotors. Now im just waiting on the parts they should be here tuesday. But heres my question, should i buy anything else, or doing anything before putting on the new brakes?
THANKS,
Drew

You could get 2 seals and some wheel bearing grease and repack the front wheel bearings since your in there already. PG.
