George,

Yes, I'll be replacing the rotors, pads, and lines (front and rear)
next.  Unless someone replies to this and tells me not to - I'll be
using OEM lines, the slotted ATE power discs and ATE pads.  Are the PBR
metalmaster pads appropriate for a daily driver?  Any reason NOT to use
the orbital-slotted power discs?

I had a look at the web page for this Motive power bleeder thingie...
looks simple and easy to use, and the price is great compared to some of
the other pressure bleeder's I've seen.   I think I'll tell the GF that
Santa should put one under the tree ;-)

Regards,
George
