stainless brake lines
Hi Guys,
So what brand of stainless brake lines are you using and are you happy with them ?
There are lots to choose from and I'm sure some are better than others.
Cheers
Nigel

I'm interested in this as well. I'm planning on swapping out rotors/pads next spring and I'm thinking about replacing the OEM brake lines with SS as well.
I'm just wondering if it's overkill for regular (and spirited) street driving. Is there improved brake performance/feel even if the car is not driven on the track?

Not overkill at all. Your car is over or close to being 10 years old. Inspect your rubber lines closely. You will find hairline cracks and maybe significant cracks in your stock lines. The SS lines are inexpensive, a bolt in replacement and provide a somewhat firmer more consistent brake feel. Well worth the $ and time to install IMHO.
