I'll second that ss lines make a huge difference in brake feel!

Paul,

Thanks for passing on the details. Tone helped me get the lift kit for mine and also a new reversing camera, he was a great help.

Stainless Steel Lines and Ceramic Pads are all you really need . . .


Drilled and Slotted Rotors look nice too :-)

what's the cost/install time on ss lines? also fificulty of install? I've left my rancho control system in my closet for like a year bause I'm affraid of the install.

The two in the front are fairly easy - all you need is a couple of wrenches and some extra brake fluid to bleed them afterwards. You can probably knock them both out in less than an hour. The rear one on the other hand was a big pain in the butt, just because it's kind of hard to get to, but overall I think I did the whole thing in less than 2 hours. You'll probably notice a difference even if you only do the front ones, because that's where most of your stopping power is.

I am planning on doing a custom four wheel four piston Wilwood caliper set up on the stock size rotors that will fit in stock wheels. That is next after the supercharger kit.

My experience with Wilwoods is that because they don't have dist seals, the calipers need rebuilding every season. Their calipers are also very flex prone, and wear the pads tapered.

A better choice might be the Stoptech caliper, or for a budget, the PBR. With the PBR, the pads become a common item, and any brake place can service it with in stock pads.
