My brake pedal is real soft (914-6) . So I plan to
1) flush and bleed the system 2) replace the flexible brake lines with braided stainless steel lines (please recommend a source for the lines) 3) replace the master cylinder. Some people say don't use the braided steel lines on a street car, some say it is fine. What does everyone think???? Thanks. |

WTF? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)
As far as the brake lines go, I've had them on two cars (240SX and an Accord). It improved the brake feel on each. The Accord was one serious braking machine, whereas the Nissan was so-so. I didn't regret putting them on either car. 've got a set on order for my teener (that isn't even here yet!). Not only do they improve brake feel, but they also always gave me peace of mind. Something about braided steel as opposed to thick rubber standing between me and not stopping (i.e. hitting a tree). It's all mental, but it's reassuring. They look cool too!
