Brake System Upgrade
Just finished upgrading my brake system of my '99 GS400. The upgrade included: Bradi Crossed Drilled/Slotted Rotors (OEM Size), Green Stuff Pads, Goodridge Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines, G2 Caliper Paint (Black), Caliper LTuned Stickers (Silver) and Motul 600 Brake Fluid.
The upgrade went fairly smooth. No significant problems or surprises. Maybe just one. When bleeding the lines and pumping the brake pedal continuously all (3) brake system (eg. 'Brake', ABS, etc) warning lights came on. They turned off after a little while. Checked my owners manual and found that's normal.
Can't provide an improvement assessment just yet since I need to season and seat the rotors/pads for a few hundred miles.
I provided a few pictures which are attached or following this message

That was really very simple. It's not the entire brake line, but rather, the 12 - 14 inch flexible hose that connected to each caliper. The Goodridge Kit contains the SS Braided Lines with the proper OEM fittings so it's simply a matter of removal and installation. The 'kit' is DOT approved for street use.
BTW: I got the Goodridge Package from Steve Ganz @ Carson Toyota.
