There's another company that also makes the ss braided clutch line, although I forgot their name( edit the one posted above)
I actually have that on my car(94 coupe w/b18c1) My reason for getting one, was because I have a really stiff race clutch(bout 70-100% over stock) and thought that the ss braided line would help a little in my shifting. It did a TINY bit. But I believe that if you have a stock clutch, then it won't really help that much.

the one pictured on fastlaneperformance is for another car, that line looks like it's going from hard line to the slave cylinder, the one that inlinefour sells goes from hard line to hard line

yup! I just did a search for engine pic's, the EG/DC rubber clutch line sit lower and closer to the slave cylinder, the ones for EK sit higher and closer to the top of the firewall

It's your money, do what you want with it. I personally would not waste $30 on that, I can waste $30 on something else completely.... like gas and oil...

I wouldn't do it. Its prone to the same problems as stainless steel braided brake lines. Dirt can work its way into the braid and due to constant vibration, it will act like sandpaper and wear away the inner tube/lining. So it would be more prone to failure than the stock rubber line.

If it were covered in rubber then it would probably be ok... As others have said, no point in spending $30 on this.

That's why my stainless steel lines were wrapped in tape
