Default Steel brake lines advice!!!!!!!!

Does anyone have them on that could tell me if they noticed a difference? I am going to buy some steeda ones soon. Also, is there a particular brand that is better? I am currently experiencing a spongy noise when pushing on my pedal i hope the steel lines will help.

Have you tried bleeding your brakes? The stock lines may not be the issue.

I have steel braded brake lines in thefront (cobra lines) and they are nice...

They only look better....ther is no performance gain unless your lines are bulging leaking,or something.....

Just to let you guys know, I have had that spongy pedal sound and feel for 4 years now. I went ahead and had a shop install steel brake lines installed even after they said there was nothing wrong with them. The steel lines worked !!!!!! I don't have any spongyness and the pedal is much stiffer and more responsive! If anyone else has this problem, have your lines replaced, even if they say its not nessesary!

Did you try bleeding them first? If they installed new lines they would have had to have done this anyway, I really don't think the new lines are what solved your problem unless there was a defect in your OEM lines.

Either way, good to hear you got it fixed.
