and what rotors are those, i know they are off of a 350z with brembos, but what brand and stuffthose SS lines will defineltly help the brake pedal feel, cause i know they did when i did mine (and it was just them and nothing else)
also when you do the lines and calipers, leave the brake reservoir cap ON (and top off the reservoir before hand too)(it creates a little vacuum, where the fluid can not drain anymore)(so less air is introduced into the system), cause it will help keep all the fluid from just draining out when you change the stuff out

E30, I had some reds on my other car and they are some of the best pads I've had, but they do dust a lot. Not a big deal for me. But man can they grip! I'm guessing your really going to like that set up!

The Z rotors are 11lbs each.
I doubt the stock rotors are much less.
We'll have to wait for someone to weigh the stock ones as mine have been gone for a year.

it says 8.1 kilos (or 17.8 pounds) for the factory brembo replacements, so IDK, if true then you are saving wait there too

I like the brake upgrade but I'm wondering how this will affect your front/rear brake bias. What type of brakes do you have in the rear? And are you running a proportioning valve. Also, with the larger rotors and calipers, is the OEM master cylinder strong enough to handle the extra demand?

and how would they be stressing the master cylinder, if anything it would be easier on it, from the lower pressure required, due to the brakes being more effective

The same question can be asked of the Rotora BBKs.

yea but all things considered I'd say for daily drivers the stock lines are good enough for what ppl will be asking for. no doubt.
stainless steel lines are way to strong for daily driving brake input so why get them... plus they can deteriorate in the future since the coating on the metal isn't sufficient to last a long time. I had that shit on my probe and only lasted like a year with my driving.
so I don't think they are as good as people make them out to be cause they are not.
I bought the really good ones and they still ended up breaking like a pos. so honestly they are not all the talk people make them out to be.
I dislike them to be honest, they are not long lasting thus they are money wasted in my humble opinion.

Quality DOT Certified SS Lines are better than oem rubber.
I have a set in my 90 BMW that have been in there for much longer than you have been driving and they are great.
No one is asking you to install them or like them, you can keep your oem lines.

maybe I bought cheap ass fucking lines then man, cause mine simply deteriorated over the course of not even a year man it was rediculous.
fuck it must be the shitty lines i had installed
damnit i got screwed with so many parts on my probe it is not even funny man. it's like eveything i bought was cursed before I got it. it makes no sense like i bought the best shit i could get my hands on and it just fell to crumbs asap. fucking probe i knew it was cursed
