Some assistance re venders...
Mikep328:
Thanks. I ordered the HEL lines. The OEM brake rotor is perfectly OK as far as condition but some brake rotor materials allegedly have a higher friction co-efficient than others. DSS makes that claim re theirs vs OEM but I'd want some objective verification to that before spending money on that particular component in my "improve the brake" Jihad.
Oddjob:
DS will say anything to sell stuff, don't believe a word they say.
Stay with the OE rotor and try different pads, far cheaper in the end. Ask others what works, although TBH that's like asking people about their choice of engine oil, a topic best avoided IMO.
I'd have said ring HEL to order the lines, they always give me a significant discount whenever I do that and you can choose the type of end you want, some like right into the caliper and some prefer to only go to the hard line for instance.

I found Brembo pads way better than the standard DS ones fwiw & not daft money as has been said do not believe all that sellers say about materials etc.

Squeeze anything hard enough and it'll have high chance of being fine.
Yes there's so many claims made, along with so little empirical data to support them.
