Their on. I might not be able to give my opinion for a while. I just drove it maybe a mile tonight and the pads haven't seated properly yet. I'm gonna drive it for awhile tommorrow and we'll see how it goes. I'll get some pics up either way. They do look badass, but moore than that I want them to STOP!

looks like the raceconcepts.net kit... i too have this kit and i really like it a lot (too lazy to replace rear drums)
the new brake lines did the most IMO. the brake pedal feels a lot more "sure" now. not quite sure how to describe it. i don't understand why auto manufacturers skimp on things like this at the factory, all cars should have stainless steel brake and clutch lines.

A portion of the "spongy" feel of brake pedals can be attributed to expansion of the rubber flex brake lines. As brake system pressure increases, the lines expand, letting the pedal travel more. Stainless line kits prevent expansion, thereby giving a much firmer feeling pedal. They also do not deteriorate with age.

Well said...
These lines are a direct replacement for your factory lines. The stainless steel lines will get rid of that mushy feel when you press on your brake pedal. The spongy pedal feel is caused by older factory rubber lines that tend to expand under load. After installing the stainless steel lines, you can expect nice firm pedal pressure.

from what i recall, SS lines actually have a shorter life span than stock rubber lines. something to do with the inside part of the lines. so SS lines DO perform a lot better but its a trade off with longevity (as with most high performance parts).

I have the exact same setup on my car. I LOVE the SS lines, but I haven't been impressed with the rotors yet. I need new tie rods, so I am not sure if the rotors are warped, or if it is the tie rods, but I have a pulsation while braking. Sometimes I feel it in the pedal and sometimes I don't. It could very well be the tie rods.
