What is a reasonable price for installing StopTech steel brake lines, in your opinion?

Thanks

 

Do it your self for free....

I know, smartazz answer.


On the rack, wheels off, old lines off, new lines on, flush and bleed entire system. Should take 2 hrs (minimum in most shops) so (depending on their shop rate $50-70 hr) it might be $150 to $350.


I say that wide spread because, I have been quoted $400 to change my springs from three different places. I know that several members hear had theirs done for $200. So, if the shop specializes in import mods, it may be cheaper.

 

Well, my local authorized reseller quoted me at $250 plus $30 for the fuild. The lines themselves aren't cheap, but this is too much in my mind. I guess I'll do it myself, although, I'm kind of lazy to get under the car

 

have you ever bleed your own brakes if the answer is no then pay the money

 

Just find someone else who needs to do lines. That way you can help each other out. It'll be easier to bleed the lines with two peeps.

 

I didn't, but my dad did several times with his old russian cars Those cars, you know, DIY kit coming from the factory .

But, most probably I'll go to my regular mechanic, who knows I service only there, so it should be way cheaper.

 

There is nothing to bleeding your brakes. You have three choices
1) find some one to pump the brakes, and keep the master full.
2) Buy a vacuum brake bleeder ( about 50 bucks at Napa) , you will find a ton of uses for it.
3) Put speed bleeders on each caliper.
I have vacuum bleeder I have used on several vehicles including the G, pretty straight forward except for keeping teh master full. I have speed bleeders on both bikes, and they are great. Basically a one way valve, so you don't have to keep opening and closing the bleeder.

 

I got my stoptech lines, bleeding, and pads installed for $150. I had all the parts though.

 

it's at most a 2 hr job, which includes bleeding the lines.

-jack up car and remove wheels (15 minutes)
-remove and replace lines (30-45 min)
-bleed brakes (30 min)
-reinstall wheels (15 min)
-test drive (15 min)
