SSoCal Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 can someone explain what ss lines are and why they help? unless i'm mistaken its just the same lines in stainless steel right? how does this help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rem Posted March 3, 2005 Report Share Posted March 3, 2005 The stock lines are rubber, it expands when put under pressure. The stainless steel does not expand under pressure giving you a better feel in the pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSS04 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 anyone out there using or thinking about upgrading to the larger rotor kits,, baer,ssbc,etc. thinking about doing at least the front, is it worth it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I bought the Baer Rotor and Caliber for the fronts. I did not touch the back, but for just the fronts, my SS stops 40 to 50 feet in the 60 to 0 braking or whatever it is that test it from. The brake pedal feels like a sports car, not like a truck and i can brake alot better when i feel the urge to go 140+. I recommend them for safety reasons and for fun.

Wizard Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 I am not running SS lines, but will probably get them. The install was really easy on the Alumasports. I've got pictures of the install, but I am electronicaly challenged. Got to buckle down and learn how to post pictures. Wizard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSport Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 i am interested in these brakes also. This turbo really gets you going quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cokedrvrbjw Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 How difficult is a brake job on the ss? The last one i ever did was on a jetta, and you needed a special tool to colapse the caliper. Any hidden problems with a brake job on these?

ImpoSStor SS Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Installation could not be easier. They go on just like the stock parts. I was very impressed with how easy they went on. Front Rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 Actually the SS lines are just a SS braid. The actual line is a hard nylon, but still does not expand like the stock rubber lines. Anyone interested in Baer brakes, be sure to get the Alumnasport vs the Eradispeed +1. Eradispeeds are "nearly" just an appearance thing. What they say their test did doesn't mean much after you get them on. Haven't heard much negative about Alumnasport, but appears to be somewhat better. If new brake lines come with the kits, you'd be surprised at how much just the lines are doing for your stopping ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
