Default Installed new Goodridge Brake lines today

Well after loving this mod to my supercharged V6 Camry a few years ago, I decided to put some on the GS4. The difference is not nearly as great as I was hoping. The pedal does feel moderately harder. But the clencher here is 2 fold. The biggest factor is 'are you going to do your own install'? If so then it worth the $100 or so bucks. I was charged 3 hours labor time at my local Toyota dealership @ $90/hr, it was a mistake!! I should have put the $370 toward the coilovers or swaybars. In short, the stock brake feel is very good now that I have compared it the the braided steel brake lines.
Second, they send you a diclaimer stating 'these are for off road use only' and if you get into an accident 'they are not liable'. This made me feel weird. Especially since I was having second thoughts for putting them on anyway. Ok, just my two cents for anyone searching this in the future.

Peace
Gerard

Eww... you got butt raped, lol. They prob charged you to bleed the system too that's why. Should have spent an afternoon doing it. It's just tedious.
