Some of the best money spend on my car. I'd say this is an essential first upgrade when getting into modifying the brake system. So much less play in the braking system, in terms of gradual braking increase. Start pushing the pedal and braking power is right there.

stainless lines are pretty much the first thing i think anyone ought to do to upgrade their brakes, along with better brake fluid. cheap, practical, no drawbacks other than having to bleed the brakes, which is personally hate. for a bit over $100, you get better feel at the pedal and increased resistance t brake fade.

A great upgrade. The feeling of being connected realy inproves driver satisfaction. easily installed but a little time consuming considering that the brakes must then be bled (a great time to step up to Super Blue or any synthetic brake fluid).

What can you say? This is a great upgrade that gets rid of that mushy pedal feel when driving aggressively. Combine this install with uprated brake fluid for a definite improvement in braking feel.
The install is very easy (provided you have a flare nut wrench for detaching the factory rubber line from the hard line), and will allow the novice to familiarize themselves with the braking system.

For the price that is normally payed it is a well worth it upgrade just for the feel. I would reccomend this to anyone just because everyone deserves a great brake pedal feel like that.

These were great. I had them installed with Hawk HPS pads. There is much better pedal feel. Not so mushy as they used to be. I can really get on the brakes a lot later and still feel more secure.

Pros:
|
once you do it, you\'ll want it on any other car you get/have.
|
|
Cons:
|
gotta do some bleeding of the lines, but you should just do racing fluid at the same time.
|
|
all the car companies have found that they can save $ by putting in the crappy lines. if you like to drive and drive a hard, even a LITTLE, you should do it for safety.
if you like sensitive throttle resoponse and know what it feels like, this is comparable. its way worth it, but remember it doesnt make your brakes any stronger, just more sensitive.

Better brake feel. Install takes time but not that difficult. Not a problem if you like working on your car.

Inexpensive and effective
|
|
Cons:

|

Installed in combination with slotted rotors and performance pads. Very effective in improving braking feel; however, make sure that all of the air in the lines is fully expelled, because that will obviously hinder the performance of the lines.
