If you mean the braided stainless lines. I have mine installed from the Group Buy we had several months ago. Out of all of them sold, we have had a few failures due to the crimped on ends failing. So far so good for me though. Just have to keep an eye on them unfortunatly.

They do however make a BIG difference in pedal feel. No longer is it slightly mushy, just a nice direct connection between my foot and the brakes

Moving this to Braking and suspension.

well.. as brake lines do not age well.. they tend to break down inside and impede flow and they swell with line pressure. It is probably easier to replace all four at once.. Then you only need to bleed the system at one time.

They sold the Goodridge lines, VERY good quality, but very hard to find.
