I didn't find much in a search.
I need to replace a front caliper due to some damage done by the original owner's gorilla of a mechanic.
I'm sure my 80k brake lines are fine, but "while I'm in there", I figure I'll refresh them, and be good for a very long time. Since I'm doing one caliper, I figured I'll do both and have it nicely refreshed before winter hits (my Stoptech Sport brake pads and OEM rotors are new with less than 2000 miles of wear, so they're staying).
A pair of stock rubber lines run $100 at the going discounted rate, are there any better aftermarket options - like maybe braided stainless steel with a protective sheath?
I've upgraded race cars and motorcycles with these and they helped pedal feel. I recall Speigler from motorcycles, but don't recall good auto sources.
DOT compliant might be good too.
Anyone have a good experience, brand or vendor that they'd be willing to share?
Are there any other bits, clips, fittings, banjo bolts, copper washers, etc, that you ran into during the job that you wished you had on hand?
PS. Stock brake setup on a 2016 LC, not converted to Tundra parts or anything I does have a lift of about 2 inches or so.
