Upgrading my V6 brakes
So i bought some SS Brembos and looking to upgrade my brakes in the near future. I know that I have to order new rotors and I will probably just cut the dust shields since I heard it's a pain in the as* to get them off and replace with SS Dust shields. Are there benefits to upgrading the dust shields? Are there any other things I would need besides new brake lines and rotors? Want to make sure I have everything before I'm halfway through and realize i'm screwed.
Thanks NJB

new banjo washers will insure proper bleeding.

Also, does anyone recommend a particular rotor brand? I'm not a fan of drilled because they get filled with crap but slotted isn't off my radar

I bought Centric C-TEKs for the front of my SS, they work just fine for track and the street.

I've re-used mine twice now, red loctited them and been on track twice, no issues. I've done a full autoX season on "re-used" caliper mounting bolts too. I'm not a fan of this torque to yield thing, lots of manufacturers don't even use them on cars with the same calipers.

I don't- but the local hardware store had brass washers that matched perfectly for 9 cents each. You ARE installing SS lines, right?
