Hey albert,

I would be interested it made a huge difference on my ek.

Can fur-inners get in on the group discount? If so, I need a set as well depending on price. Maybe even two sets if you guys can get me a pair for my Integra.

I'm interested too!

SS Brake Lines made a HUGE difference in my RX-7.

Let us know how much.

I really have to have the science behind this explained to me. I don't buy for a minute that expansion of the stock brake lines is going to increase brake fade. There is more than enough brake fluid in the reservoir to allow for the small increase in brake fluid volume due to line expansion. It's one of the reasons the reservoir is there after all. Corrosion elimination is the only other viable reason I can see.

Some one explain this to me please. With hard facts, not just "I put them on my car and they are amazing", placebo effect stories.

um, what happens when you push the pedal down and all the pressure goes into expanding the lines?

as opposed to applying the brakes?

pressing pedal = X amount of pressure

X amount of pressure = expands brake lines (not the intended effect)

Jay and I were going back and forth with this earlier...my thought was that if the lines expand, the diameter of the hole should actually decrease and give firmer pedal feel. After consulting someone more engineering inclined, it was pointed out the heat reduces the elasticity of the rubber which is probably a larger factor than the line expansion thing.

That has to do with pedal feel, not fade imo.

LOL

when your brakes fade, what does your pedal feel like?



wait, don't answer that....hopefully, you'll never have to.

I've felt pad fade and the starting of fluid fade. I am unclear on how either would be alleviated by SS brake lines.

J-me

I know when i took my civic to the track when i had it my lines expanded so much after 2 laps that when i tried to hit the brakes the pedal hit my firewall and i still didn't really slow down. It scared the SH!T outta me!! I wish i had stainless lines that day because if i did than that would have never happened.

I definalty support having SS lines. Better pedal feel and knowing that the feel will be the same no matter what conditions and type of driving you are doing is very comforting
