I know this is for tires, suspensions, and wheels

but i think brake is part of those parts so i ma post it here,

so i was wondering about the steel brake lines

I was thinking to buy the complete set from taspro

the brake pads and rotors for $140 ish

the top left one

and the steel line for $130 ish

http://taspro.net/Product/Browse.aspx?d=1273&p=1

the bottom left one

are those worth it...

cuz some of my friend told me that the steel brake line will do wonder to the performance of my brake...

but i want to keep the pads and rotors as stock as possible, cuz of budget problems...

I need to change by the end of this week

any comments are welcome, cuz i need help

stainless steel braided lines will be a big difference. i cant tell you exactly how theyll feel, because i dont have mine on yet, but i was told that its like a night and day difference when you put them on, haha. nothing bad can come from them, so why not.

Tirerack has some decent prices on Brembo blanks.

Also, OEM pads have been the best pads Ive used on the street yet.

So I should just go for like Duralast Rotors from Autozone and get Wagner Thermo pads? I just wanna try something different than OEM rotors/pads.

Dust isn't really a factor for me since I wash my car/wheels every week anyway. I just don't want it to squeak and have more stopping power than OEM brakes.

I looked at the Brakes Review thread but getting mixed feelings still. I can get a whole new set of Hawk HPS pads for about 110 shipped which is a pretty good price, as far as I know. And I can get a full set of OEM rotors for 100 shipped.
