Default Stainless Steel Brake line install.........

Will begin at my place tomorrow at 12:00 sharp. Earl's (i.e. Holley Performance) is implying a 10% reduction in braking distance. I'll pick up fluid tomorrow A.M. Also will be installing speed bleeders. So Ira, Matt, Mark, Euclid and any other aftermarket junkies feel free to stop by. I figure about 3 hours total.......including beverage breaks.

Sounds like fun. Unfortunately, I'll be out of town. I hope it all goes well, and the improvment is well worth it.

Install went great......seat of the pants back's Holley/Earl's claim of 10% reduction in stopping distances! Not quantified but my testosteronorometer braking in East Canyon Reservoir area says.......major noticeable improvement; just as on my sport bikes many years ago.

If you don't mind me asking how much did they set you back? Brake upgrades are always worth my penny

Don't count pennies either . Somehow $108.00 comes to mind (2 or 4?); my wife could surely tell you. Go to Rick's and look at the Pinnacle brake system. You can get the hoses and speedbleeders there. I was going to do the calpiers and all but no one seems to have figured out how to get around the E-Brake yet. The stock discs suck. I have never seen anything rust so fast......like 10 minutes after you wash the car.
