Talking Mini gets new rotors and SS lines
I got new EBC slotted and dimpled rotors (front only) and StopTech Stainless Steel brake lines (all four corners) for my birthday this weekend. I am using ATE Super Blue fluid and Ferodo 2500 brake pads.

Everything got installed in a couple hours. Started doing some 80-20 mph stops to start getting them bedded in. It's nice when the highway is empty on Sunday!

Here's some pictures of the old and new. Note: I painted the center of the rotors black for aesthetic reasons.

Brad, though I don't understand anything you said [Are you speaking in tongues? ] I'm glad you had a great birthday and that you're having such fun with the Mini. She's a beaut!
