the ss line isnt needed but it makes for a firmer pedal which i liked I guess its more of a preference thing, I also replaced the pivot bolt I had read that some people have had issues with those breaking so I got a chromoly one, its cheap might want to pick one up and do it while you are in there. all that being said..you will like the new clutch it has a much more positive engagment than the stock one, and the pedal travel is a lot shorter.

I ordered mine online, but it came really quickly. Its basically the same principle as the stainless brakelines thought, they dont expand so the pedal fells firmer worth it imo

But the good thing about going to 18's are tire prices I went from having to pay $1000+ for my 19's in smaller widths (245f/255r) to $600-$700 for wider 18's (255f/275r).

I bought the enkei's for $1800 shipped.
