a few questions... could you use your stock brake lines from the base brakes with these? And do you notice a big improvement in braking over the base brakes ? The looks alone are worth it though.
I don't think you could. But you mite as well just upgrade to the SS lines for it's only like $90 bucks more. There different due to the sports brake calipers come with a different hard line that runs from the caliper around the control arm to a fitting as seen here.


With the original base caliper there is a shorter hard line with another added rubber line that routes to the other side. Hope this makes sense. See with the base model there is a three piece line and with the sport theres only one line. But it almost seems you could. I'm having a hard time recalling if it could work with the new hard lines. But like I said it's in your best interest to just upgrade to the SS lines.

I haven't had a chance yet to test them yet. I just got done bedding them in. But more than sure with the pad type I choose it will be alot better. Even better than original sport brakes.
