The caliper and rotors will mount fine but you'll need brake lines. If you buy one of the kits it will come with the brake lines and a master cylinder.

You'll need the lines but I'm not sure about the master cylinder.

yea. there's clips that hold one end and the other end bolts into the caliper.

how much are you paying for the brakes?

$120 sounds nice but I'm REALLY skeptical about buying used brakes. When it comes to saftey equipment like that I'd only buy new.

If the guy's upgrading to baer or brembo brake would be the only reason I could see to sell them.

About the brakes, if the pads are worn you'll have to spend close to $100 for some good new front pads and if the rotors are trashed you'll need to get them turned or buy new ones(~$200). All this plus lines and possibly a m/c. I say just buy a new kit for $500.
