SS brake lines won't do much on our cars. It'll make a more noticeable difference if we were driving Hondas.

Well that is true, they aren't terribly expensive. I have the R1Concept ones for front $25 each and rear $9 each.

OK - the car is now telling me I'm at the minimum pad thickness and I know the rotors will need replacing as well. I'm going to order the R1's and the HPS pads from Acute today. What about the sensors?

I think I'll DIY this, if I get the liberty pass from the wife and kids.

Anybody have a good recommendation for a shop in San Diego/Scripps Ranch if I simply can't get the time?
