Need some Advice for New Rotors and Pads.

Hey guys, i have a 11' X Sedan, im looking to replace my rotor and pads soon. Does anyone know if DBA makes rotors for the non-sport model sedans? Any suggestions on rotors and pad combos? Right now im looking at a few combos and i would like some opinions on it.

1- Stoptech Sport Slotted CryoTreated Rotors W/ Stoptech Street Performance Pads
2- Stoptech Sport Slotted CryoTreated Rotors W/ Akebono Proact Ceramic pads

-How does the Stoptech Pads compare to the Akebono Proact Ceramic Pads?
-Do you think its worth it to get the Cryo-treated VS the Non cryo-treated rotors?
-Should i replace my brake lines with a Stainless Steel Brake line?

thanks in advance!!!

If you're looking for DBA rotors, get in contact with KNS Brakes--they're a vendor on this site. I purchased a full set of DBA rotors and Hawk ceramic pads before summer started and I'm still loving them.

Here's the link: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...ing-needs.html

I have the new slotted 2 pc T3 ClubSpec 5000 DBA rotors (4000 single pc on rear) and they never make any noise. Ever. The rotors are very smooth and quite. Running hawk HPS pads and Goodridge Phantom ss lines with Motul fluid. Sweet setup if you ask me. oh yeah,..and the guys at KNS are top notch...got my stuff there. too.

DBAUSA | 4000 & 5000 series – T3 slotted

I did mine (diy install.) There are a million posts on this, but all you need to know is that your stock wheels wont clear, and you need to cut one axle of dust shields. That's it. They bolt right up.
