Changing rotors
Changing rotors
I am planning on purchasing a set of slotted rotors off of ebay.

I am also planning on purchasing some Axxis pads. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2437420066
My question to you guys are 1) Do I need to change the lines when I do this? 2) Do I need to bleed the lines?
I have only 15k miles on the car. I just wanted better brakes.

No, you will not need to unbolt the brake lines from the calipers in order to swap pads or rotors, so you will not need to bleed the brakes. Use a wire coat hanger to hang the caliper up out of the way while you replace the rotor - you don't want to let the caliper hang on the brake line.
Replacing the lines is something entirely different, but again it is not required to replace the pads or rotors.
