Im looking on purchasing the brake upgrade kit which will include the front calipers, 25mm front brembo rotors, steel braided brake lines for front and back, brembo rotors for the back and of course pads.

Does anyone have a link to a descent how to on how to do everything appropriately?  I really dont want to pay someone for something that isnt gonna be that hard, but I want to make sure I dont screw anything up.

Ok that gets me started.  The only part I really dont know is how to properly change the brake lines.  Any links on that by chance?

i would bleed the brakes, then the new ones should go on and their pretty much self explanatory if their made for that application. I think PDM makes all this stuff in a kit.

it's been over a year since i did mine.  to get the old lines out, just use a screwdriver to pry the fitting apart where the soft line connects to the hard line (IIRC).  it's pretty straightforward.  just take the old ones out and put the new ones in the same way.  is this what you meant?
