brake job time-recommendations, Help with picking lines, rotors, pads Options

[7391420]

I'm planning out a brake job for my 73 2.0 and am wondering if people can make some recommendations:

-for a mostly street/occasional AutoX car,

1. what do people like for pads and rotors? I am planning on staying stock, but does anyone have good/bad experience with various kinds of each?

2. I need to replace the brake lines and am tempted to go DOT stainless, anyone have a favorite package?

3. The Pellican parts site has some good info on doing this work and I have the haynes guide, anyone have any adivice on the best way to do lines, pads and rotors?

-Thanks

For a car that is going to be used mostly on the street, I would recommend that you not go overboard. The stock braking system on a 914, when properly maintained, is quite adequate.

For rotors, use the standard Zimmermans on the front and rear. Don't go with the cross-drilled. IMHO, it's a waste of money. You should also look at doing the wheel bearings at the same time.

For pads, I use a stock compound Pagid on the front and Metal Masters on the rear. I would stay away from any of the track compounds. For AX you need pads that will heat up quickly. Regular street pads will work best.

As for brake lines, that's up to you. I currently have DOT SS on my car. But, I will probably replace them with rubber over the winter. I plan on changing them every other year, so the additional expense of stainless is wasted.
