Hey guys,

I was thinking of purchasing this for my 8 as my stock rotors are pretty much gone:

What do you guys think....is it reliable and does anyone currently use this brand?

Also, sorry for the noob question but what is the purpose of stainless-steel over the stock brake lines? Is it worth paying approximately $100 extra for the brake lines or should I just get the rotors and pads for $499?

Thanks guys,

Ben.

 

Tracking the car or no?

Stainless Steel brake lines reduces the brake pedal travel for more consistent braking.
IMHO they aren't really needed unless you are tracking the car and even then, you don't have to have them.
And "Yes, I have them and no, I don't track the car"

Your rotor choice doesn't look bad and seems like you get lines and pads.

I went a different way with the rotors and got the two piece.

Not cheap, but I am happy with them!

 

I am fan of Racing Brake products. If money is an issue I would skip the SS lines and go with Racing Brake rotors & aftermarket pads. Braided SS is A better material than rubber so if you have the $$ get the SS lines also.

 

Cool - thanks for the advice guys....I'll check my budget and order accordingly.

 

You can't go wrong with Racing Brake products.
