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. |

They did that in the Grassroots Motorsports 914, and they had a good write up on it. Probably not needed for street cars, although I've heard that the MC mounting points can flex quite a bit. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) I've heard more bad about SS brake lines then good. IMHO, I would just get the stock rubber lines. If the rest of the braking system is in good shape, there probably won't be much difference in feel, and the rubber ones are cheaper as well. Although I'm a cheap SOB! |
