New Carbotech AX6 pads and Rotors from Sneed Speed, WOW...
I just installed and bedded the pads/rotors. The stopping power of the JCW MINI is incredible with these pads. I honestly thought that the stock Brembo pads were about as good as it would get but I was dead wrong. These things are amazing and should really help shave some time at the next autocross.
There is only a slight squeal on moderate braking and it does not seem to squeal in the final moments of stopping which is good.

Are the XP8 pads loud? The AX6 pads obviously squeak and do so very loudly when braking really hard but it does not bother me. It lets me know I have a performance pad on there and I drive it for fun anyways. I have heard some pads that sound more like a metal on metal sound which would be annoying. I don't mind noise as long as its like the AX6 pads.

How would brake lines and fluid improve stopping power? SS braided brake line may offer a small feel difference due to the expansion of the rubber hoses versus SS but that is it. Fluid is basically only applicable in wet and dry boiling points and has nothing to do with stopping power.
