Question about Comptech Brake Lines?

Are they really worth it? \there only about alittle more than $110. How much of a differnce does the Comptech Brake Lines make? Thanks.

They provide better, more firm brake pedal feel- something our cars could use!

Wayne, I agree the stock brake pedal feel is too mushy. Have you personally driven a CL/TL with the brake line upgrades? Does it really make a noticeable difference?

In a word- Yes! The pedal does feel better- not a great as if you went for the entire brembo kit but you will feel a difference.

Damn--if they're from Comptech I'm surprised they don't cost $1000!

That aspect of Comptech does get me a little hot. Yes their products are excellent quaality for the most part. But they could cut us a little break on costs, no?

I mean really--they were blessed with the TL, TL-s, CL and CL-s all being able to use interchangable parts!! I'm sure this has saved them tons of money in research and manufacturing. Come on Comptech--let's have a garage sale!!!

You didn't read very closely. It's 119$ for the lines--I was only joking about the 1000$ b/c Comptech stuff is so expensive.

Do the brake line kits actually improve stopping distances?

Thank you
