Is there any reason i should pay more for name brand stainless braided brake lines like these stoptech's http://performancenissanparts.com/ca...th=153_180_367 over the ebay no name brands that are half the price? I'm doing brake pads soon and figured this would be a good time to do dot 4 fluid and stainless braided lines. However i'm not interested in spending nearly $200 on the lines. Here are the ebay ones, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33562

Um.. reliability would be a huge deal with brakes. Get a peace of mind and go with better brand.

what do you know about this russell company? if they are legit and not flybynite, and stand behind their products, ie warranty, maybe it would be a good risk? maybe call russell and see if these are knockoffs/subpar?

i found their website, they're owned by edelbrock so they seem like a decent company. http://www.russellperformance.com/ I think i'm gonna go ahead and buy them off ebay.

Not to hijack, but I have to say that I like your screen name EoS. "Purgatory Afterglow" is one of the best death albums ever! \m/

I'll have to check that album out, i've only heard crimson II by them and i didnt like it too much. I did however like the name.

And to the guy who stole the item i was gonna buy, i hope you get screwed over and the seller sends you junk parts.
