Default Braided brake line recommendations?

It's time to upgrade to braided lines. Any recommendations?

I heard the cross-drilled brake lines are the best for street use

The Goodrich lines are good and so are Russell.

Russell is owned by Edelbrock and they do a LOT of hose stuff.

I have the Russell lines and have had them for about 2 years. They are teflon coated (as I believe all DOT approved lines are) and work really well! I think I paid around $100 total for all four, so the price is really good. I would stick with any name brand lines and you should be covered regardless of the brand.

Thanks. I've seen the Russells on the Summit Racing website. As of now I think I'll probably go with them. I just need to get a firmer pedal feel for heel-toe. Right now the brake pedal depresses too much and it's awkward blipping the throttle.

Only if they're adequately lubricated.

I replaced my lines, rotors, and pad all at the same time so I don't have any way to tell how much just the lines made by themselves.

If you haven't replaced the pads. DO IT NOW! Such a huge difference! I am rocking the Hawk HPS. As for rotors, some Brembo blanks would be fine. I spent the cash for some Powerslots and warped them pretty quick. Not worth it to pay that much for rotors that won't make much more of a difference than stockie style.

PLUS... I got larger wheels which hopefully will aid in the cooling of my brakes a little more as opposed to the tight, constrained stock wheels.
