Anyone with Braided Stainless Steel brake lines have any pics? Just ordered the Russell Industries ones from Marylandspeed and curious to see how they look / hear what the difference in pedal feel is.

I changed my 1990 Miata to Braided Stainless Steel lines and the pedal feel was incredible. It was the best upgrade for the buck on any car that I have owned. Plan on doing my 01 C5 very soon.

I run Goodridge SS lines on my 96GST,03S2K & 02Z.

Much better feel.

Did them on my 01 Bullitt. Was amazed at the difference. Plan to do them on the Vette soon.

I installed Russell s/s lines last year as part of my Grand Sport project.
Along with the new rotors/pads, they really improved the performance and feel of the brakes on my '97.

I took some pics, but none of them really show the s/s lines...
