Hey Peaty.
On the SS brake lines, be sure to secure the line in the metal grommet that attaches to the strut body. The SS lines can 'slip' through that grommet and that's why you had to help me run and get a new brake line, remember? The line had slipped and rubber against the inside of the wheel, and... you know what happened. I just used two zip-ties on the chassis side of the grommet - you want all the play in the line between the grommet and the chassis since they move in relation to one another. When you install the lines, I suggest attaching to the metal line first, route to caliper, then attach there. This will help avoid twisting the line.
Oh, and I would use vice grips and and 10mm wrench on the brake line where is attaches to the metal line. The last thing you want to do is try to loosen the line and twist the metal line.
The 4-pots are bolt on, just don't mount them upside down with the bleeder valve at the bottom (like Jeff did...), or you won't be able to bleed them.
Use a good brake fluid. There's a good post at the "other site" in Suspension about brake fluids. I just switched to ATE Super Blue Racing this week.
Did you get the speedbleeders yet? They will definately help.
The first HPCCC is this weekend! Jeff and I (and a friend of mine) are going out. Come out and put that camera to use! Drop me an email or call me and let me know if you want to come out.
