stainless steel brakelines ... should I?

what do you guys think? right now I'm running brembo blank rotor on hawk HPS and kvr rear pads and the pedal feel kinda mushy, if I bleed the brakes I might as well change the lines?


people who have them and don't brake hard, can you feel them in everyday driving/hard driving?

You should! Why not? I plan on getting mines. I just have the Brembo Slotted/ X drilled rotors from SWAW along with the pads they offer. Now all I have to do is get the SS lines, change my brake fluid and paint my calipers and my brakes will be complete. I also need to get some rims so you can see my brakes! I hate this Honeycomb look.

I did them because I got them cheep and more of a longevity thing. I honestly didn't notice a difference in pedal feel with them installed.

I did notice a small difference - slightly less pedal travel on my old car with stock brakes - and I think it's worth it.

I've talked to a few people and they all tell me I should get them. Now I just need to find some thats cheap!

clee: my problem right now I think is the brkae lines, my pads are really good and they bite hard but the pedal feel and travel sucks.

You won't notice a huge difference, but it's there. And why not, it's a relatively cheap mod compared to the rest of the stff we put on our cars.
