Got the lines, rotors(blanks) and pads installed over the weekend. Car stops soooo much better now: wind up 2-3 car lengths further back from where I thought I'd stop. Gotta love the SS lines. When installing these it's crazy how much bigger the orifice is on the Stoptech banjo bolts compared to the factory bolts: definitely promotes fluid transfer.
A word to the wise: have PB Blast or a source of heat on hand in case the slide pins on the rear calipers are seized. PITA. If you can't get them un-stuck don't attempt forcing the new pads in the outside on the rear as they will drag. You will have to re-use the outer old ones until you get the calipers un-stuck.
Thanks again Charles!
