Thanks!

On the SS lines, you want to start with something that has DOT approval, as mentioned in the thread. I would recommend something that has a coating on the outside, which serves to protect the stainless lines from rust and so on. I'm using the techna-fits, and they are dot approved and has that protective coating.
It's important that attention is paid to the lines so they don't rub on anything - suspension, tires, arms, etc. If the metal braided outer sheath breaks, the sharp edges could cut the inner hose, leading to a line failure. The outer sheath is already stainless, i.e. it's rust resistant inherently.
Actual 2-piece stock replacement size rotor weights are listed below if you want to add:
FRONT ROTOR WEIGHT (each, lbs)
Stock Brembo 21.35
StopTech 19.35
Racing Brake 19.0
DBA 5000 18.5
Project Mu SCR 18.0
Performance Friction dimpled 17.7
Girodisc slotted 17.4
Girodisc slotted/drilled 17.25
Bear Eradispeed 15.8
REAR ROTOR WEIGHT (each, lbs)
Stock Brembo 14.6
Racing Brake 14.0
StopTech 12.9
Baer Eradispeed 11.66
Girodisc slotted 11.1

Even if you dont like the idea of 75$ for a liter of fluid, Castrol SRF fluid is THE best brake fluid out there. 590F/518F Dry/Wet.
Also, the ACD makes life difficult for an installer of a ducting kit, but it can be done, I have the AMS kit on my 06.

Yes, unnecessarily complicated and I partially block my oil cooler for the explicit purpose of symmetry BUUUUT there are a lot of pictures, take it for what its worth

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
I thought about it. But members can find those in the How-To forum. Unless you have some stellar examples that can be used here.
