So_Cal_Aviator Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 Replaced front brake rotors + pads last weekend using Power stop slotted and cross drilled rotors. Also bled both front brakes. Braking seems improved from before. I want to improve brake pedal feel so I ordered Front and Rear Rotora stainless steel brake lines. I will be using Motive Tools brake bleeding kit. Any special techniques or advice when bleeding the rear or front brakes that is specific to this vehicle? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrist Posted May 8 Report Share Posted May 8 I have them on my Fox Mustang and it does help modulate the pedal. Something I would like more of on our ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garycrist Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 I do not think so. Just do not let the master run dry and don't pump too far down on the pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Halstead Posted May 10 Report Share Posted May 10 Swapping to a better brake fluid will usually do what you are looking for without changing brake lines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you recommend? I already purchased the aftermarket lines and was going to try them out anyways. I always upgrade to SS lines on most of my vehicles.

Performance brake fluids have their advantages but typically have shorter shelf and service life. I've installed SS Brake lines on a few vehicles. The improvement in pedal feel is worth the cost.

Thanks for the info. Look forward to feeling the difference. I noticed improved braking with new PowerStop slotted rotors and pads but the brake pedal feel has always left “something to be desired”.
