Brake Changing Time

Ready to race!
Alright, finally had some time to work on my car today. Swapped out the OE rotors with ATE OE+ Coated rotors, Hawk Performance Ceramic Brake Pads and THE USP Motorsports stainless steel brake lines. Special thanks to the team at FCP Euro, the Team at Hawk and the team at USP Motorsports. Tomorrow the rears and then a flush with the ATE Dot 5.1 brake fluid.

10/30/23 Update

Rear Rotors, pads and the stainless brake line have been installed. System has been completely bleed. After the Brake Bedding procedure and then a cool down. I can honestly say that it's a night and day difference then complete stock. Braking is way more responsive. Some pictures of the rear.

hmmm have had the SS lines in my head to change. Worth it?
I was going back and forth as well. I am happy with the choice. It is definitely a noticeable difference. The pedal feels great. Now granted, I did a complete brake upgrade including flushing the system so many variables. That said extremely satisfied with the outcome. USPMOTORSPORTS.COM from my research offers the best for your money stainless lines. Oh remember the banjo bolt torque spec is 10 foot pounds if you do switch them out.
