Damn dude LOL That really sucks !

I just bought the parts to do a brake job on the Neon. I don't care
what I'm working on.... If I'm doing brakes, I buy everything - you
never know what might be Mahtzoed(TM). If it turns out I don't need
something, great I take it back. I bought pads, rotors, shoes, drums,
wheel cyls, self adjuster kits, caliper hardware kits, spring kit, all 4
hoses... I'm pretty sure the front calipers are good so I didn't get those.

With all your troubles - I hope I don't bust any metal lines. They are
looking a bit rusty.
