Default ss brake line opinions...

Currently running carbotech xp10/8 pads on an otherwise stock braking system, w/ fresh superblue fluid. Very happy with their overall performance, but wouldn't mind having a little stiffer/progressive brake feel; and with almost 110k miles on the car, wouldn't mind replacing the stock rubber hoses.

What brand ss lines did you guys use, and how much of an improvement were they over stock?

I've read certain brands are slightly too long or don't include certain attachment clips, and zip ties are needed to be used to prevent them rubbing on the struts etc; any truth to this?...

Thanks!

I'm using stoptech lines. They have a nice clear plastic coating over the stainless portion which is nice against debris and the elements. They were straight bolt on with all hardware included.

As far as feel, couldn't tell you. I replaced the pads, rotors, and fluid at the same time.
