Man the brake lines are amazing! Our shop Ralliart has them and mine doesn't. The pedal feel between the cars is very noticeable. And to think all this time I have been a pessimist about braided lines.

Finally here are the pics. Installation went great except I was an idiot and forgot to bleed the brakes in my excitement and had to go back and do that. First off the springs are amazing, there is no body roll and the feel of the car is amazing now. Also the brakes lines have to be one of my most favorite mods. The pedal feel is incredible. Great job to AMS. Time for the pics....

Looks good! I wish there were more options out for springs...I want to drop, but not much more than 1".

I'm also curious about the stainless brake lines. It already seemed to me like the RA had pretty firm-feeling brakes (compared to older cars I've driven). Was the difference in pedal feel night-and-day? Do the stock lines get more spongy as they age?

WOW, the Tein S-Tech drop is like 2.2 front and 1.8 rear, that's LOW! 1320 Engineering has them for $199.99.

https://www.1320engineering.net/tein...ngs-p-180.html

Any rubbing issues or bump stop problems?

I'm keeping it conservative and opting for the Eibach (PRO-KIT) which is 1.2 front and .8 rear. I want a drop to increase handling but I still want to have a little clearance to work with, and I don't want to cut the bump stops.

Anyway, Parts Bin has 'em for $229.68, though I am still looking for a better price, yeah, I'm cheap.

http://www.thepartsbin.com/catalog/?...920+4294963099

BTW, OP, the car looks great! I will be getting the SS brake lines soon.

Odd. According to Eibach's website, the Pro-Kit for the RA lowers the car 1.2" front and rear.

Yep I got them from 1320 for $200 which was a steal to me. But no rubbing issues at all and no more body roll either . I love them, that being said I do have to be so much more careful now, but it was worth it to me. I'll go out soon and get some nicer pics.
