..Is there any advantage replacing stock bracke lines with ss/braded brake lines....what do you guys have!
Changed mine right away from OE rubber to DOT approved braided stainless steel. Not so much for the better pedal feel, which seems to be the case, but I really don't want to take a chance on a piece of debris (body parts, etc.) damaging a brake line while on a road course.
Upgrade you brake fluid while you are changing (Motul 600 works well) and add speed bleeders too. For you guys that are more serious, add brake cooling ducts to your front brakes - could save you a couple of expensive rotors or a trip off track.
Call Dave at Dave's big brakes or Jon at Parts Rack for more info.

Anyone make the change and feel a difference? I would have thought that our was braided and covered in rubber to make them DOT legal . I am going to check mine tonight.
MASH and X are right on:
'Better' pedal feel and modulation;
Shortened 'reaction time' of brake hardware = shorter stopping distances.
Consistant pedal feel even when lines are hot, lap after lap.
Road-hazard protection;
SRT10 specifc brackets and anti-strain reinforced fittings
Under $190/set 4, + fluid.
DUCTS: We are about 2 weeks away from a supplemental SRT10 ducted cooling kit for brakes
Is there a problem with stock brake lines?
Have the OE brake lines ever failed anyone? For any reason?
