Brake lines...

As it says above mentioned. I would like some feedback for some good quality brake lines since I would like to replace my stock ones. I have the new EBC USR slotted series front and rear rotors as well as the redstuff pads at all four corners. I am still waiting on the rear rotors which will arrive on the first week of Jan. So, while I wait for this, I would like to order some new lines as well. So any recommendations would be appreciated!

Im running the same setup with AMS lines. No issues, and much improved pedal feel.

I have been thinking about that company but wanted to know from people's point of view. Thanks for the feedback.

Man, those are nice but I only have slots on mine. I didn't want the dimples in them since they're prone to cracking if you look at it real closely after use fora while. That is what I have experienced from my old car from Baer brakes. They're awesome brakes no doubt about that but after realizing that slots are just better as most percentage of racers only use slots on theirs. But again, really nice!!

Cracking is usually only exhibited by drilled rotors, and ones that have been drilled after casting.

Any other suggestions other than AMS products? I know they're great but like to get other opinion and other manufacture products to look into as well. Thanks!

Works also makes a set. I originally ordered them but after waiting 3 days on a shipping confirmation, I called them only to be told they were on back order. So I canceled my order and went with AMS. Minus the customer service I got, I would buy them.

Lines are lines, there inst much to change about them. Buy from a well known company and you'll be fine.
