New rotors made a difference but sure if was enough to justify the cost. They do not rust like the stock ones did and I do believe they do let heat out better on repeated or hard stops. It does stop a little shorter than the GF's VX for sure though.
Now braided lines on the other hand are incredible! So much more responsive, way better brake feel and performance - no longer feels like the pedal is going to the floor on hard stops. HIGHLY recommend the braided lines from Darlington! Wish I had put them on earlier - a little messy but worth it.
How-to is just like the bearing repack already written up just swapping the rotor instead of putting the old one back on....
