Should I also change the brake lines to SS Brake lines?

The holes allow air flow through the rotor and increase the surface area of the rotor, so they can't help but to dissipate more heat.
How does a hole increase the surface area of the rotor? You aren't talking about the actual braking surface area are you?

I metal masters or fine for the street or for light track use. I melted down a set of metal masters after I started driving a bit harder. 1/2 through pads in 2 20 min sessions. THen I went home since did not have any more pads. Then I added brake ducts and ran the metal masters some more. Took me another year to push a bit harder and toast them again . Then i got th KFP and the difference was dramitc. Much better braking and much better heat resistance. I loved them. At least until we go a new track around here and found that got fade from the KFP's in about 15 min of track time. Moved to Hawk blues have loved them.


For you might be able to get away with metal masters, but for a track car KFP's are simply better. The stop better and last longer. If you planned to use the 95% of time on the street and 1-2 track days per year then get the metal masters. For car you INTEND to track get the KFP's.

SS brake lines are nice too because they deal with the heat better that old stock ones.
