Yo fct,
My front brake discs are 13" vent disc. I already upgraded to steel hose cost around RM250 in penang, but using only normal brake fluid (transparent fluid, if performance fluid normally blue colored). The braking improved a lot from stock L2S. But like u said, it still lacks the optimum braking capacity which can be really dangerous with such powerful engines we have in L2 or L2S.
I haven't upgraded or checked the brake pumps or callipers, but i do have some feedback from a fren that my front right brake pump isn't working properly after an accident i had (he's a car body specialist but not a foreman). He suggested changing the brake pump as well as cross-drill my brake discs, but my foreman suggested me to upgrade my brake pads to EBC pads that costs around RM200+. My foreman told me that with crossed-drill discs, brake pads changed won't last that long. He installed the EBC brake pads for an ori Auto transmission L2S and i personally tried the car with EBC brake pads with normal rubber brake hoses only. Its really ganas, really bites and effective whether slow or fast. Thats why i wanted to know if anyone here knows anyone or personally distributes these pads. I'd like to buy it.
Well, i can only hope someone somewhere can help me out, i really dunno whether these pads are so expensive or not. Pls someone help me!
