Default Brake Line Recommendations? C6 Z06

Well the time has come to replace the brake lines on my Z. Car is driven mostly on track, 4-5 times per year. I was looking to upgrade to stainless.

Whats the recommendation for the best fit and price?

Thanks, John

Based on the research I did this is what I ended up with:

http://www.stoptech.com/products/sta...el-brake-lines

My research also revealed there were mixed opinions on if they made any difference at all. I haven't been out in my car yet so I cant comment.

Also, make sure to pay special attention to the torque specs (Stoptechs not GM) of the banjo bolts.

Good luck!

I put Russell SS lines on my base C6 and have run track days for 2 years with no issues at all. I have no complaints with them. Not saying there isn't better out there, but again, no issues to speak of on my end. They installed easy, and I would like to say I felt a firmer pedal.....but I am not sure how much of that wasn't just in my head due to what I read before installing them.
