      Getting new Pads/Rotors Would like to upgrade Lines too

      So I'm getting these brake pads from Tirerack

      http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brakes.j ... perfCode=S

      ugh... they are out... I'll look again later but will most likely go with those if I can find them.

      I'll end up going with Regular Rotors as this combo has served me well on previous track cars.

      Anyone upgrade to stainless steel brake lines? I would prefer black so they look stock. What's available? Anything? Do I need to get them made?

      Also, tirerack now lists the front KYB's for the Skittle.. I mean Aveo. Picked up the rears and some new top hats for the rears, will get the front later, I spent enough today.

      stainless lines are pretty much universal
      all you need to know is the length you need and the size of fitting and you are good to go

      not entirely universal. they need to have the correct ends on them to go to the caliper.

      The size and also the angle...

      I'm asking to see if anyone has done it yet though. No sense redoing the same work if someone already has. I guess it's on to taking pictures of the brake line ends, taking measurements, and getting on andysautosport.com for some universal lines.

      Ordered some HAWK HPS from Tirerack along with some Centric Black plated rotors.

      Also took a wheel off last night to get some reference pictures and info for brake lines... now to find some lines.

      xiaogary has pics of lines in his recent coil-overs thread. Might ask him about it.
