///M Brake performance

Not sure about anyone else, but the stock brakes on the Z4M seem to be extremely overpowered for street use. In stop and go traffic or when going hard into an occasional corner they are very soft and grabby at the top of the pedal, though they even out a bit once into it. The touchiness makes heel-toe shifting damn near impossible (for me) which is a non-existent problem on my e30 wether it's on the track or street sets. I've had a few other friends drive the car and we all had the same impression, the brakes are too damn sensitive on initial bite and the pedal seems vastly over boosted. It almost feels as if it pulls itself down.

I've already flushed the fluid with ATE Typ200 and bled as well as I could and it still felt soft.

I'm installing StopTech street performance this weekend and I hear they do well to reduce the grabbiness on the stock textars (plus there should be less dust!)

Is it worth taking it to my buddy at the dealership and having him do a power bleed with their system while cycling the ABS?

Are SS lines worth it? I noticed no change when swapping them on the e30, will I notice any on the Z? I'm not interested in going with a BBK, though I would love a stock sized option for a fixed 4pot caliper if anyone knew of one
