What does stillen's Gstop Stainless Steel Brakeline Kits do.

Why is that such an important upgrade?

Also why is there only a rear set of breaks. Sport Rotors - 1-Piece.

Thank you

They're actually made by Goodridge, and they replace your oem/'standard' brake lines.

They offer better braking b/c ss braided lines expand less than regular hoses under the same amount of pressure.

idk, maybe one of the Stillen guys can answer that.

They are more rigid and allow for higher pressure to move through the lines. Thus eliminating the "spongy" feeling, (fade), in the brake pedal, and they are weather/corrosion resistant. So they have a longer use life than stock rubber lines

Adidas are you thinking about this upgrade?

Has anybody done this?

Would it be worth it to get this for a daily driver?

Not worth is for a daily driver with stock brakes. If you get the Big Brake kit, then get these
