Yep they improve peddle feel under hard braking. The line doesn't expand as much as the stock lines.
Rotors are a dime a dozen. Getting 2 piece rotors is expensive and looks awesome. Just don't get drilled rotors, they heat up and cool during normal driving and crack. Get a rotor that is dimpled and slotted or one or the other if you go with 1 piece rotors.
Fluids: What ever you use keep the same grade. Most are yellowish in color, I use Blue and Yellow Motal 600 & Amsoil 600. The purpose of the colors is when you bleed the brakes you know when you have evacuated the old.
Unless you AutoX a lot or drive like a FastFurious guy all the time there is no need for DOT4 fluid. Its designed to have a higher boiling point. Sport Brakes are always over heating on long courses like Sebrings.
Hawks Pads are fine CarbonTech is a full on AutoX pad and under daily driving conditions suck until they warm up.. Also ton of dust.
I can do your brakes when your ready. If you keep your stock rotors; my advice is to get them turned to resurface them for the new pads. O, I have power bleeder so which ever way you go we can defiantly get some new blood in those lines.
Example, my rotors were 480.00 for the front and 220.00 for the rear with PADS and life time warranty. Slotted and Dimpled. Do I feel a difference; no but they look sexy
