Yes, the kit came with full instructions.
I replaced all four brake lines with Goodridge extended hoses.
The instructions show the orientation of the castor bushes. To be honest, you don't really need to fit them. I didn't at first as I wanted to see if they did make any difference, so drove a few months on standard bushes. With the correction bushes fitted it did make the self centering a bit quicker or did I imagine it, it was such a slight difference.
Mine is just the standard 40mm lift though, if you are going 50mm then the difference might be greater. I could add the 10mm spring spacers, but I'm happy as it is.
