I am a real noob when it comes to brakes so which lines, fluid and pads do you think i should get? I want a good improvement over the stock stuff but i dont want to spent too much money. I want to get this stuff before i intstall and powdercoat the calipers/inner rotors

 

Goodrich SS lines are good. As for pads, this all depends on your priorities. Personally, I love the OEM Brembo pads because they have great cold stopping power (which is most important on the street), and I have never faded them in everyday use (nor at an autocross). I have heard that Project Mu NS are a good aftermarket choice for cold stopping power, and perhaps the Satisfied Pro OEM as well. If you want a higher temp pad with more fade resistance, you can look at things like Hawk HPS, but realize that you will give up cold stopping power. There is no "do-all" brake pad - brake pads are inherently a compromise.

 

I agree Goodridge SS Lines are great an less expensive than Stop Tech or some of the others out there. As far as brake fluid, I went with Motul RBF 600. It has a higher boiling point so if you do auto X or track the car you will be fine. Now Pads are as going to depend on how you drive the car but in my experience the stock dust alot and can get expensive to replace. I went with NISMO pads and they do not fade at all when driven hard and dust is very minimal. They have also lasted me about 45-50k of HARD driving and a few auto x's. www.mynismo.com

 

I had Goodrich lines and I didn't like them. They have a connecting block in the middle of the line, like the OEM lines, that attaches to the shock, but they never fit right for me. I like the simplicity of a one piece Stoptech or Rotora (they're the same as fas as I can tell) brake line.

I also like less expensive Valvoline Synthetic brake fluid. It's about $7 a quarts, has a high boiling point, and is made for every day use so it's not as big of a deal if you don't flush the brake system each year. For street use, you don't have to spend a lot of money on racing brake fluid.
