R32 GTR Pads, Rotors, Lines?

I have done most of the maintenance to my "new to me" R32 GTR.

This weekend I would Like to attack the stopping power. Cant pull off a BBK yet.

• Pads: Hawk SPS, I have experience with them in other cars, open to suggestions

• Rotors: Please Suggest!!

• SS Brake Lines: Please Suggest!!

TIA!

Mostly street. Occasional track

Well, on that basis, if the rotors don't actually need to be replaced (ie they wouldn't be undersized after a skim) then I wouldn't replace them.  Why waste money when you appear to want to spend on bigger brakes, right?  If they do need to be replaced, then any quality rotor is fine.  Slots and holes are wank material.  Plain disks are good enough for nearly every task.  I'd buy DBA if feeling rich or RDA if not (assuming Australia).  Elsewhere.....who the f**k knows what's available?

If you're not in Australia, our standard suggestion that get "whatever brake lines you like as long as they are ADR approved" doesn't really matter and you could go get "any brake lines you like".  If you are in Australia then you have no option but to get ADR approved lines.  There are a number of good name products out there, and some crap ones.  An easy choice is to buy HEL on eBay for not much $$.

Pads.  Well....your preference there.  If you like Hawk SPS for a fast street pad then go for it.  Other options that a lot of us use here are a bit Australia specific so may not be useful to you.  A lot of people use the various Project Mu pads for similar usage.  Why not read this thread for recent discussion?

Assuming he's in USA, you can get DBA there. But get the existing rotors measured and skimmed as GTSBoy said.

No idea on Hawk pads but they should suffice. Remember to do a full fluid flush and bleed the ABS as well (you'll have to trigger ABS → bleed → repeat a few times).

Why do you need new brake lines? Are existing ones falling apart?

Intima SR pads

DBA Rotors T3

Hel lines. 

PM me if you need, I can hook you up

Pads: Project Mu Club level

Rotors DB5000 aluminium hat style

Any adr braided lines. 

Awesome stopping power, low wear, kind to rotors, aluminium top hats are good for heat dissipation. 

Rig up brake ducting if you can for track days.

I think you missed the part where he said it's mainly for street lol

Intima SR are awesome for street driving. Give it a big hit and it bites hard.
