Just ordered a Bullitt Brake kit today. Should be here by the weekend. The kit comes with front calipers, 13.5 inch rotors, pads, and new brake lines. Has anyone done this install? Anything to look out for? I am a little anxious about removing the brake lines, as letting air into the ABS system is a BIG problem needing a dealer to purge the system. Oh yeah, how do these brakes perform compared to the stockers. Sorry for all the questions just want to make sure I do this right,dont want to step on the brakes and be :owned: by a tree.
 
I just had this done on my car. They are great. I also opted for the Goodridge teflon coated braided stainless steel brake lines which added some serious stopping power. I wouldn't say that it's a huge difference over stock but you will feel a difference. The only thing I could note is that the left and right brake lines have different size fittings so don't think you got the wrong size or anything. Good luck

the rotors are 13".. I have the cobra kit which is identical. just be sure you bleed the brake system to make it nice and tight. I'm happy with the kit.. i'd get some grippier pads like EBC Greenstuff next time tho. good luck, they bite better with time
