Default Time for some brakes - Need some opinions.

Hey guy's just got back from an oil change and the shop told me that I got to change my pads in a few weeks. So now I'm thinking of making some changes here's a list of parts that I'm looking at:

- Hawk HPS pads.
- EBC Sport Grooved Rotors or Baer EradiSpeed rotors.
- Goodridge G-Stop or Earls Brakeline Kit.
- Motul brake fluid.

My goal is to shave off some distance when braking at 80km and higher.

Any opions or feed back would be greatly appreciated.

The stock braking system works well but when stressed, there will be fade. To help reduce face, run brake ducting to the rotor properly (CTAE kit), run higher quality fluid like the Motul, brake lines will need replacement if the ones you have are old, otherwise keep them stock, they work well. Stainless braided lines are used for racing mainly to prevent punctures and rips and on older cars that have old/soft rubber brake lines, stock rotors work fine, are cheap and dispensable. You don't need pads that are too aggresive. Aggressive pads will go through rotors faster than lower coefficent of friction pads
