Put some fluid in your brake resevoir, its low. My old car if you didnt keep it topped off, even though above the minimum line would flash the brake light, my Z did it one time. Ive never seen a brake light come on any car because of the pads being low.

Thumbs up Sorry guys havent been on in a while.

Impressions on new upgraded Rotor Lines and Pad kit.

I was impressed with my factory set up but man this new set up will stop you on a dime. I have not had a chance to track it but it performs great on the street. I have 50% more stopping power in my opinion and less brake dust then the stock set up. I took it for a hard drive on a good curvy road and the pads and rotors were smoking so they are not quit broken in but they work great especially when hot, obviously the HPS are better when you get them warm but they are excellent product and a great upgrade for you if you are looking for better braking without the hefty Big Brake kit price.

I will post some pics in a few once I get them on my digi.

No me and 1sickZ are different people, I can definitly feel the power increase, still havent installed front. Ebrake definitly works better. Wanted to ask you Sick, did they say you have to modify or convert lines to the one steel braided line? Cuz I only got one linefor each side, and OEM lines have multiple with a T junction?

Thumbs up You should have

recieved four SS brake lines one for each rotor in that set if you only bought two lines then you need another two for front and rear or two rears etc. If you bought a kit then you need to contact the seller.

I think you misunderstood, I have 2 lines for the front... but Firestone is saying the one line will not replace all the OEM lines on each rotor. The stock have a 2line setup on each rotor with a junction or something, is yours now just 1 steel braided in front?
