Brake Lines - Steel Braided or Kevlar ???
I've seen upgrades for the brake lines...I can go to steel braided or even better to kevlar.
But the upgrade to kevlar cost more than steel braided ones so is it worth it? Is the extra money well spent?
Or should the steel ones be fine?
How many miles before everyone upgrades their brake lines, or do you just wait until it needs to be done??

I have had both and the stainless steel lines are all you need. I did not see any notoceable difference with the kevlar. I also believe the stainless lines are tougher.
Braided lines give you better and more responsive brakes. This is true and obvious upon install. No more mushy brakes. Suggest you do this mod as soon as you can afford it. You will not regret it.
