I would do tires, then SS lines and fluid, and after that better pads if you need them.

The problem is there are no SS lines available yet. I will get them the day they come to market though.

The proportioning may be different with the rear disk setup (no idea if it is or not), so it may require the master cylinder to be swapped out as well to make it "correct". since the vas majority are non ABS it may be less critical, but still should not be overlooked.

Um, why change the master cylinder? there are these new things they have been using since god knows why called proportioning valves. All we would have to do is change that to get the proportioning, I am sure that would be a lot cheeper to get ahold of than a whole set up off a JDM Vitz

Read Moose's post at the top of the thread. He is right.

I'm not sure if the rear disc cars use a different master cylinder. If they do there is probably a reason why. Running out of fluid to actuate your brakes is not something you want to do.
