SS Brakes Lines - Worth it?
Thinking about modifying my brakes with vented slotted rotors and ss lines. The car will mostly see street actions... maybe a driving course now & then. A stock engine with some intake & exhaust mods. My question: Will I notice the different? and Do you think the ss lines are worth the $$?

Greetings, Greg,
There seems to be an issue with SS lines allowing static electricity buildup, which causes erroneous wheel sensor readings/feedback to the PCM, and resultant codes.
Functionally, though, they will firm up pad application and pedal feel......a little bit.

The OP probably thought he was doing the right thing to ensure his question got seen by the maximum number of people who might be able to help. What do you think the Dupe smilie is for anyway? Answer: It serves as a light-hearted way of reminding members that multi-posting is not acceptable.

that is cheap, like $20.00 a line!
I would do it for that price and if I didnt like them or if they threw codes, swap em out.

Thanks for your inputs
Thanks for all your input. Sounds like 65% responses are favorable (from both of my posted threads) with possible side effects. That’s why I like the CF. It is a great resource, so you can make the most informed decision about your Vette.

To BW1 - Sorry for not knowing the CF rule about “dupe” posting. Your right; trying to get as much opinions & info. I am better informed.

Who's making you stay? I agree that people who make "hit & run posts" with nothing more than "Dupe" or "I agree" add no value and serves only to increase post count (not to mention that it is against forum rules). However... if you had bothered to look, you would have seen that the dupe image I posted was also a link to the earlier post from the same person, where the same question was asked.

This is also news to me!
