For the most part its simple, But I had to ask is there anything I should know that might not be obvious?

 

Rob, remember to use a flare wrench (10mm I think) for the brass nut to avoid stripping it.

 

don't drink too much while the install

 

are you installing the Goodridge SS?

if so, don't use their washers, they suck. just reuse the OEM ones..

True that.

 

.....be gentle with the fittings. They don't need to be very tight - and if you **** up, you ruin them.

 

Torque the supplied banjoes 4 lbs. less then spec.

 

thanks for the tips.
I did all 4 with no problems, I just have to rebleed them- the pedal is not right yet.

And as for the drinking, I had none
and the flare 10mm, I also had none but the reg one worked just fine.

Hawk HPS front pads, are they more or less agressive then Axis Ultimates?

Yes they are Goodridge lines.

You know, you do have a point. Although I don't necessarily *mind* the feel of them, I liked the OEM feel better. I've never been able to get the pedal to feel as good as it did without the ss lines.

 

Jason, Could you explain that to be better?
Not really sure I follow.

 

I agree with Jason. The OE pedal feel is much stiffer, which makes it easy for daily driving because there isn't as much pedal effort. However, I track my car frequently, and the SS lines greatly improve pedal modulation, and in my case, it places your foot in a better location for heel-toe action, as you have to dig deeper into the pedal to reach threshold. My $.02

As for the kit, I also have the Goodridge, but I used the OE washers and banjo bolts, as I ended up breaking one of the supplied banjo bolts.

 

thanks for the small reveiw.

 

I have heard this same feeling a couple of times, but one thing i did learn during my MANY brake bleedings after events of high brake use, bleed the brakes with the engine running, the ABS will pressurize correctly and you get kick *** pedal feel after you bleed them, much better than oe...
