Switching from brembos to akebono's

You would benefit from cleaning off the pad hardware and putting new high temp silicone grease on them when you do the swap.

The routing of the brake lines depends on what company you buy them from, as there are a couple ways they are done. I highly recommend Goodridge lines, as they are designed exactly like the factory lines, but with stainless lines instead. You can get them from places like Forged Performance or Corner 3 Motorsports.
