The slightly firmer pedal feel will be nice, but something about relying on rubber when I'm slowing down for turn 1 at Summit sketches me out a little bit. I'd rather have something that doesn't swell or wear or crack, and could get accidentally nicked with a power tool and not kill me.
You know the SS lines have a rubber lining inside, right? And they often arent as durable as OEM lines, require more frequent inspection & replacement?
If there isnt anything wrong with the stock lines (swelling, dry rotting, cracking, etc) then I wouldnt worry about them for street/autox use. Just because its shiny doesnt mean its better
Agreed unless their using a different lining inside (check). And if your getting SS lines, make sure their teflon coated. I only changed out my lines cause I had 146,000 miles on them. I keep em in my spares box though as they all looked good coming off. I dont know what my next set of lines will be though.......
