I am almost ready to pull the trigger...
Question, what difference does the stainless steel brake lines offer??
Is the difference noticeable, any pro's or con's?
If I did the rotors,pads and lines, would there be a noticeable difference in performance as I know visually it will look sweet..
Last thing I am considering is powdercoating the calipers at the same time..
thanks for the info..

If you went with lines, upgraded pads such as HAWK HPS, there would be a very noticible difference.
BTW, we have powdercoated calipers also
.. do you have a base car or a Z51? Red would look great on your car. Our calipers are 100% Fully Rebuilt with all brand boots and seals

You can either go with Slotted/ Dimpled, slotted only, OR Slotted/ Cross drilled. Z51 rotors are larger than the STD rotors. I would recommend slotted/ dimpled if you are looking for a STD sized rotor.

What's involved (and cost) to go convert to Z51 rotors and pads? Same calipers? Are they drilled and slotted?

For the Z51 you can only get the rotors in cross drilled. Here's a set of them installed on a car with TPS powder coated calipers. The front Calipers from a base and Z51 are the same.... the rear Z51 calipers' pistons are a little bit smaller than the base one. Do you want the brackets to be powder coated also OR just the bare metal?

Who else would like a set of these great rotors? These units are BETTER than OEM/ stock units and costs LESS!
Here is the picture of the rotor AFTER about 10 miles of braking. The Black zinc coating will wear out on the surface where the pads meet.

Well Daymn! Turns out my 07 has F55, which I understand uses Z51 rotors. Was wanting the x/drilled and slotted. Doesn't appear you have anything for the Z51, no????
