Replaced my brakes to day

When I put my stock wheels on for the winter I noticed that my front pads were almost gone and the rotors were past the point of turning. So I bought a set of R1 cross drilled and slotted rotors, Hawk pads, stainless steel brake lines and enough synthetic brake fluid to flush the entire system. I was able to get everything changed out in a day and install my SPC rear camber links

Here are some pics

Looks good, who did you buy the rotors from?

Great pics of your new brake components. What advantage does SS brake lines have over the stock ones?

I got the rotors from R1 concepts.

The stainless steel brakelines give you a firmer pedal feel as they don't flex like the stock rubber lines do.

The install wasn't too hard but I had an air impact wrench to take off the bolts. The ones on the caliper brackets were hella tight.

The pads aren't fully bedded so I can't tell how much better the performance is.
