it was the fact that you flushed the system and bled the air out that improved the feeling so much.

put SS lines on a brand new car and you won't feel much/any difference at all.

+1. I did mine and honestly it felt the same as if I put on brand new rubber ones. At least I know people will have a harder time if they want to cut my brake lines...

Oh yah , your the guy who mentioned the red stuffs. Thank you again for that as i never knew that they even offered red only green.
