Chassis bushings done! car drives like dream + MPG up!

Woo hoo!
I had my subframe bushings replaced at Precision Motorsports in Bergenfield, NJ (Harry is the owner there) and the car drives like a dream....all my steering clicks, "pots and pans" type clunking over potholes, pulling to one side, creaking and squeaking is now gone.
The car drives like a dream, I think in the entire one year ownership period it's never been ok...I think I bought it busted....I looked at the parts they were severly worn down, cracked, seperated....just really bad shape......anyhow the best part is that my MPG around town went from 14-15 to 17-19 immediately after - and consistently since- the repair......wooo hoo! The downside is that the squeaking I've been hearing in my front right wheel is a badly rusted and torn caliper boot/hat/rubber protector and I need a new caliper ($$)...while I'm there I'll do the front rotors and pads....I already have the Akebono pads I'm just now hunting for the rotors....are zimmermans worse than the OEM? They're roughly half the price of OEM's.
What is involved in changing the caliper and brake fluid? I've done pads but I never changed calipers and brake fluid....
thanks for listening!
