Default Re: Brake upgrade

Thanks for the comments. I am going to change the fluid and I have checked out the various fluids. I began to realize that the fluids like Motul are for racing and my car is never really pushed to anything near those kinds of stresses or limits on a regular basis. I do like the SS lines to reduce internal flex and more consistent application. Also, they would have a much longer life. So the lines are more interesting. I want to see how much of a difference these current upgrades accomplish. Many years ago a friend changed a master cylinder on a 1/2 ton Dodge truck, the brakes went through the roof! You barely had to touch the pedal and they would throw you through the windshield. We realized the new master had a different (smaller) bore diameter. It was really stepping up the line pressure!
