I had to praise my newest upgrade from DR. and that was KVR Stainless Steel Brake Lines . To describe my brake at the stock level is to state they were spongy at best. When I coming to a stop I'd apply the brake and they would work, but if something happened (like someone jumping in from of you) while in brake mode and you had to apply more braking power,(best way I can describe it) you would go into sponge mode and hope you would stop. NOW with the KVR SSBL's sponge mode is gone, and when you have to use excessive brake force the wheels would just slow to a stop. I notice the upgrade at every light I stop at, even when I stopped 3 or 4 times at one light. My first thought after this upgrade was: Why didn't these cars come with SSBL from the factory?
After a couple of accidents as a teenager I came up with a rule: It's fun to go fast, but it's more fun to slow down so you can go fast again.
I thank Dennis for offering these products and I welcome any comments from others who have had these KVR SSBL installed.

Are your brakes stock other than the SS lines?

Stock brake lines are "reinforced" composite rubber. Pretty good but you still lose some pressure to diameter expansion of the rubber. Switch to steel lines and the pressure loss due to expansion is minimized.
