I want my calipers to not be so "grabby"...

What's the best way to lube up front (or any for that matter) calipers? I plain on looking into a better MC soon or at least bleeding the system.

Other questions:

How much would it cost me to swap the rubber brake lines for, say, braided steel? Is this even possible? (I have rear drums) Does anyone know of a PN for a four-piston caliper that will work on a thirdgen w/ 15" rotors? How much faster will cross-drilled rotors wear than regular ones? Thanks a lot for any answers...

You really dont have to 'lube' your brakes. Just a small amount of 'brake grease' on the spots where the pads slide on the caliper and on the ends of the caliper bolts. Russell makes direct fit braided DOT legal brake hoses for our cars. They kick a??!!!
