Default Re: Brakes

How many miles on your car ?
I would recommend a set of SS brake lines from NeedsWings (http://needswings.com/Goodridge-G-St...Kit-34030.aspx), and a complete brake fluid flush.
Depending on mileage and condition of pads and rotors, perhaps new ones of those too.

You could DIY or have a competent brake shop do it.

If you DIY, there are 3 ways to go about bleeding the brakes :
1. the old fashioned way of having someone pump the pedal while you do the caliper valve.
2. a vacuum brake bleeder.
3. a set of the fancy new one way caliper valves ( speed bleeders ).
( in all cases, make sure you don't let the brake reservoir run dry, and DO NOT LET ANY FLUID GET ON THE PAINT !!! )

use a good fluid, Rob has this too : http://needswings.com/Motul-RBF600-R...id-RBF600.aspx
