During my front end build I had planned on swapping out the brakes to a 911 set up, but other problems have been found that eat into the budget.

So the vented diskes are out... For now....

I'm swapping out the MC with a 19mm unit since it's a nasty stocker that has internal leaks. What else can I do to improve the stock brakes?
Braided flex lines? Super blue fluid? What else?

The stock rotors are still in spec but I'm not sure they could take a cut and the pads look to have a lot of meat left but I am unaware of the material.

I'm getting new bearings as well!

Let me know things to better my car's braking
