or just get good fluid, good pads and stainless lines.. shouldn't cost more than 150 for everything.

I've been running Brembo blanks, Axxis MM pads, Goodrifge SS lines and DOT4 brake fluid for about a year now. Good setup for the street. I really think I am ready to step up to Q45 brakes, however.

But then again, I think I just need to bleed my brakes;)

tirereack.com and get you some nice rotors, Hawk HP pads and SS lines. Flush out your system and you'll have awesome brakes. unless your master is bad.

that's what worked for me. my brakes are DONE. stock replacement and no fade what so ever. it's great
