Upgrading pads, rotors, calipers, all of the above?
Again, curiousity is getting the better of me, and I want to ask the brain trust:
If I'm looking at upgrading my brakes, I know that I should upgrade my pads. They'll give me less dust and will control the stopping power, but considering that I'm upgrading from stock parts... should I also look at upgrading the rotors and caliper assembly as well?
Rotors do wear with time (as far as I'm aware), I'm just not sure if I should go ahead and replace the rotors with something better (and if so.. any suggestions?) while I've got the wheels off and am replacing the pads.
So the question:
Is it worth getting new rotors, pads, calipers, brake lines all at once, or can it be a gradual upgrade as things wear more?
And is it easy to replace the brake lines yourself? I think I can handle calipers, pads and rotors myself.
