U know. Now all my cars have them.

U dont realize how much a difference they make in pedal feel to you swap the complete set on.

The TTA got them.

The Formula got them.

Finally got around to swapping them onto the GTA as well. Its an awesome feeling hitting that pedal and u can tell by feel its going 100% to applying the brakes.

Still amused at how much better it feels.

How much did this cost you? Do you have stock brakes on the car and it still made the braking experience better? Everyone always recommends changing the rubber hoses to at least new rubber hoses if not better because our cars are so old and the stock ones are probably close to failure. I guess being able to stop is a pretty good thing.

Go with Earl's or Goodridge and you'll have no issues. Definitely worth it and a must when doing a big brake upgrade, they're standard in all my kits, front and rear.

Lets put it this way.

Figure $20 * 4 for all four corners of the car.

Plus another 30-40$ for the line from the body to the rear end.

Or just get the braided line for 105$ from Summit.

Cheaper last time I checked, if only by a little.

Hopefully 3.8 your post will push me to do mine. I have a set of Earl's I got for Christmas two years ago that I still haven't gotten around to putting on.

Summit needs to update their site with parts and a better search (maybe not as good because of the update needed) so this way I can find what they sell. I mean I have searched Summit for their OWN products and sometimes they arent even on there. Anyway....where can I find earls line from the front to the rear????

Thanks much
