I recently purchased two DiMarzio pickups: the Super Distortion T (DP318) and the Virtual Solo (DP420) for my Squier Standard Telecaster.
I'm planning to install the Super Distortion T on the bridge position and the Virtual Solo on the neck.

Since both are humcancelling, should I change the stock 250k pots to 500k? Oh and what else do I need to change? The caps?
By the way, I play post-hardcore if that information helps. :)

typically humbucking pups use 500k pots, just like single coil pups the cap is more down to preference but usually i believe they are around .022uf, but i may be wrong.

Worth noting that quite a few humbuckers intended for fitment in Strats and Teles are intentionally voiced on the bright side to work better with the 250k pots already in the guitar, mostly so you don't drop a humbucker in the bridge and end up with either too little top end on the humbucker or single coils which now sound like scratching your fingernails down a blackboard if you fit 500k pots. :mrgreen:
