SS brake lines will almost give you nothing at all.

I felt almost no change at all, other than peace of mind at the track is all.

I went with the Goodridge lines because I didn't have to pay a cent for them :). I won them in a competition Stillen ran while I was in Iraq, 2 years ago almost. I'd never complain about free SS lines, but I certainly won't tell you that they made a dramatic difference - they didn't. Don't be fooled in thinking that they will, either.

That reminds me, we still need to bleed my brakes again once the weather gets warm......that and re-doing my headlights :p

Very cool that's the honest answer I was looking for. Im more or less doing it for longevity and reliability. Im going to be doing an SS line conversion(clutch, oil, brake) so I was just looking to see if it was worth the extra $100 on the goodridges over the premium Z1 kit.

Nope, you'd be fine w/ the Z1 kit more than likely, if you're adamant on doing it.

Main reason people push them is because of older, worn out rubber lines on older cars. They can be stretched out over time, eventually getting to the point where your brake-feel isn't nearly as solid anymore. Especially when racing at the track, SS lines are great peace of mind in that you know they wont burst at the end of a 130-140 MPH straight, and put you right into the wall when you hit your brakes.

I went with the Z1 kit, and have been very pleased with them. Good deal for what you get in the kit. :tup:

I was thinking about getting SS lines, but decided not to after Rob said they weren't necessary.
