Do you guys notice a difference with the SS lines? I've noticed my brake pedal feels a little squishy.

I have a problem on my downhill bike where the rear brake lever has a lot more play because the brake lines are that much longer to the rear.

He didn't install he paid someone to install it. Looks like he is still running the idler pulley. I know I can measure and have orielys bring me several belts just trying to save time. Want my car running ASAP

Thanks again for giving me the HPS pads

I used to have yellow ebc on my other z. They worked really well for autocross. tempted about the blues but they are pricey.

I haven't noticed them being too rough on them....I just know they are pretty grippy with no fad....I ran on them at Cresson MSR and had no problems.

Haha. His vendor name on here is James@MVP. James is his middle name that he uses at work, but he goes by his first name Jeremiah outside of work. Send him a PM and let him know I (Eric) told you about the deal on the lines. Maybe I did drop dime on him though cause that may have just been a price match.

I wish I'd checked this earlier. I would have invited you over for my Brembo upgrade.

How late is late? I did this during the day since I was off work and finished up late afternoon. I didn't ask anybody cause I figured everyone was at work.
