Hey guys,
Just put on my stailess steel lines today.. Love them! Wow still pedal.. way more braking power.. If you have not done them ...think about it!!! used DOT 5 fluid... now i need to get up in the hills to push them a little...

that much of a difference huh? i've been contemplating what to do to get some better brake feel now that i have bigger wheels...

 

Good deal, Rob.

 

what brand did you get? i was thinking bout doing these too since its pretty cheap i saw some bfgoodrich ones for like 100 bucks

 

You have a much stiffer pedal. It does not squish. I cant wait to be able to really test them out.
Not sure of the brand. I got them from a member here.. sorry forgot his log on name.. he is a ex- infiniti tech from the east bay. Nice guy. Very easy install. Bleeding was a pain in the a$$ though.
Kris I am unclear if it makes a difference (brand) If anybody needs help with it or advice let me know.. happy to help

jasoncham2003 is who you are talking about i believe.

 

nice dude. i'm about to do this swap soon...just lazy right now. can you elaborate why the bleed was a PITA? did you have a bleeder? anything to look out for? gonna do this solo.

 

Did you happen to have the Master Cylinder brace installed?

 

Hey,
Nope did not have the brace installed, however been looking into icking one up used.
The bleed; well would be really tough doing it yourself. You need someone in the car depressing the brake pedal as you bleed eack corner. You will not be able to see weather fluid or air is comming out. We had to do the process two times. Thought we had all the air out but did not. Also you have to bleed in an order. Right rear/left front/left rear/right front. I suguest you download the factory manual in these fourms to help.

 

Well, if the method hasn't changed from the old days, it's a pain . . . Bleed . . . Hold . . . Bleed . . . Hold . . .

 

i got a Power Bleeder so it should help make the job a bit easier. and btw, i thought DOT 5 was a no no???

 

Heh, I think you have my former brake lines - took them off when I got the OEM Brembos. They're StopTech OEM replacement lines, which I got from here: http://mynismo.com/products/?id=3363.

Have fun!

 

Been there done that..... Good Mod though! I used Motul RB 600 Brake Fluid

 

I thought the order was right rear, left rear, right front, then left front. no?

 

Hmm... I think it's right rear > left rear? front right > front left, it's the farthest then gradually working towards to the closest to the master cylinder. But what do I know, I'm a network engineer, not a mechanic.
