Earl's hyper firm brake lines About to do brake pad swap. Currently have power slot rotors, going with Hawk brake pads, and I figure wouldn't hurt to put the hyperfirm brake lines in there. Any opinions on these?

I felt a little difference in stopping force but that might have been the Hawk pads too. From what i understand is that the rubber lines expand under heavy stop and go racing such as road course. The braided lines help to keep the braking a lot more consistent. So u may or may not feel a difference.....

I installed the stainless steel lines at the same time I had my calipers off to paint them. I replaced the front pads at the same time with ceramic GM Durastops. I didn't really a difference in stopping or pedal pressure. They look

So you guys like the Hawk pads? I heard they don't last that long and dust like crazy. Is that true? From the sounds of it, I'm gonna skip out on the brake lines.

I did drilled rotors, Hyperfirm brake lines and Hawk pads all at the same time. Definitely noticed a difference. Better feel, less fade and pads seem to grab and hold better. I'm not a brake expert by any means but I can definitely feel a difference.
