This is done and seems to be resolved. I don’t recommend the Centrics kits I mentioned below. Half of the dust boots were wrong by like .5 mm and all of the bleeder screws were wrong. I kept the old bleeders and had to order some OE Brembo dust boots. The inner seals seem fine but don’t bother with the Centrics kits even though they’re much cheaper.

I did the braided SS lines too but I could freely blow through the rubber lines they replaced so I don’t think that had anything to do with the fix. She’s got 4 new rotors and all new pads and no more cooked brake odor every time I stop now.

Congratulations! How was the condition of the caliper pistons?

They seemed fine with no scoring or anything so I reused them.
