Get aftermarket pads. You don't want used pads on new rotors.

You won't need other hardware. Its a very straightforward day.

KNS brakes has the best combo right now. Iirc I paid about 800 for DBA 4000 rotors, hawk hps pads, ate super blue and stop tech stainless lines.

Only 2 sets of the DBA's left at that crazy price.

lol

also whas the main reason most people upgrade to SS lines? looks? performance?

We do.

For DD though - just get pads and ATE or another DOT 4 type fluid.

Your not tracking the car so it's much less stressful on the system

If you have the wheels on hand you can print out these templates taped to cardboard to check clearance~

Do you need to upgrade anything else when you go to the BBK? Like the master cylinder or anything? I'm considering this upgrade for the spring. Just wanna get my ducks all lined up.
