Ireland Stainless Steel Brake lines make a huge differance in pedal feel!

These made a huge differance!!!!

Rob made me do it.

lol

[KCLARK]

yep!! i bought these too and put'em on my car. i swear it felt like i had new set of brake pads on.

Makes the pedal stiff, but still doesn't add that 'touchy' feeling that you get from new cars (aka 5-lug). Upgrade in the MC would do the trick.

Whenever someone talks about SS lines, I can't help but think of the guy that wrapped zipties around his rubber lines instead of throwing down the cash for SS ones.

How hard are they to swap? I assume all the brake lines need to be bled off first and you would need new fluid after wards? Is there a DIY artcile on this that anyone knows of?

[parkerbink]

Bleeding yes, more fluid yes. Write up would be Lift car, properly support it, remove and replace lines one at a time replace fluid, bleed starting at right (passenger rear) and replace fluid, bleed left rear replace fluid, then front right, replace fluid, front left replace fluid.

So you replace the fluid everytime you change each line? Why not replace all 4 at one time, then refillthe whole system with new fluid and bleed the lines once that way?

[parkerbink]

No not replace all the fluid, replace the missing fluid. The level of the fluid goes down, top the fluid up to full, bleed, top up etc.

Ohhh, so once you replace one line, you refill the displaced fluid back to where it should be.... .... Then do the process another 3 times

After that, bleed altogether...keeping in mind the level of the brake fluid through all of it.
