braking/stopping power definitely feels better than stock.
my recommendations:
- change up to the m-perf bbk if you want to keep the OEM look. the front rotors fill up my 19" wheels nicely. the rears still seem a little small-ish.
- make sure you get the brake system bleeding done right
- code it (although i've read, and my mech says the same, that the coding part is supposedly only necessary when DSC kicks in)
- i'd say ss brake hoses are a +/- i know there is some debate as to whether they are that much better over the stock hoses but i did them anyway as i figured, why not.
- enjoy!

Your experience matches mine, so nice job. I've used both pressure (motive) and air compressor (mityvac) bleeders on many cars over the years, including the current F30 and 997.2, and never had an issue with air in the lines - as long as they were used properly (learning curve on the mityvac was longer than motive).
