New rotors, SS lines and Pads installed. Wheels soon

Went over to a fellow org member's house, t56gen2, last night to install x-drilled/slotted rotors, Goodridge Stainless Steel brake lines and new pads. The stopping is much improved. The install was pretty painless except for bleading the lines. I swear I pumped the brakes 400+ times.






Opinions?

I bought the Rotors from the Group deal with Maxed Up. They are autospecialty rotors. I bought fronts pads from http://www.speedyperformanceparts.com. I initially bought the lines from SWA (They made me wait over 1 month. Didn't call me back to say they were on back order and then didn't call me back to say the distributor didn't stock them) So I reordered from Stillen and had the rotors in less than a week.

Brake pedal is improved and I am very happy with everything.

I'd be interested to see if we can gravity bleed our Maximas. I have an S10 Blazer and needed to bleed the rear brakes. All I did was jack of the front wheels, take off the master cylinder cover and open the bleeders and add fluid as it drained. It was a hell of a lot easier the pumping the pedal.
