I will be still be moving forward because my rear brakes just wont grab and my front are locked up. WHat a joke. I need to figure a way out to get my rear brakes more involved. The thing is that I dont think anything is malfunctioning.
i talked to a coworker/buddy of mine (big mustang super-upper kind of guy, changes out his own engines, his dad owns a car repair shop, etc) and said that the ss lines would lessen the 'lag' from the time you push to the time you stop. basically that the rubber lines do swell some when you start pushing the pedal, and the ss lines will not swell. so that 1/4 second it takes for the brakes to start to grab would be lessened.akley88 wrote:The ss lines help prevent the lines from swelling when they get hot from heavy use. The lines themselves won't really improve braking. Their help is seen after repeated hard stops. If live in a hilly area you probably have noticed brake fade from riding the brakes. This where baving good pads, rotors, fluid and ss lines Will be noticed.
