    I have the stainless braid lines from Indy4X & am happy with them...

    I also have Magnum cross drilled rotors from eBay & I like them too, though their "corrosion resistant paint" isn't all that corrosion resistant in my experience...

    Were I to do it again, I'd spend a few extra bucks & get the optional cadmium plating.

    After installing new pads, (I prefer OEM, but many say any ceramic pad should be the same) rotors, & lines, if it still pulls or has "pedal issues" is when I'd start looking at caliper replacement and/or possible master cylinder replacement.

    This is assuming that the brake system has been bled properly. (search "brake bleeding")

    I had similar braking problems, I pulled the ABS fuse, brakes seem much better now. I also had the front end torn apart, so it could be coincidence and a caliper was frozen or something, but I had even wear on the pads, so I don't think so.

    I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.
