Lightning Brake Performance SS Brake Lines
Who has bought and installed these lines? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on these and want to get some input from people that have them. Here is the website...

I'm planning to get the front and rear kit. Part#'s 92788FRSS & 91561RRSS.
What do you guys think???

I have them as well and am very pleased. I give them
The install of the rear line kit was very straightforward. Everything matched up perfectly.
The front kit required some modification of the mounting bracket to make them fit where the stock brackets mount. Basically drilling and tapping a second mounting hole...not too bad. The retaining clips that hold the line onto the front brake lines are hard to get on but I'm sure thats beacuse they are designed to hold brake lines...design intent...
Hope this helps...
P.S. Customer service on the order and shipping were top notch.

Not a big deal - you need an angle head drill and a tap. Works out to about an extra 15 minutes per side.
If you want, I can take a picture and post it for you.
Art-Man and I have installed 3 sets of these kits - they are good.

I'm never shy about chiming, but I haven't installed them yet. When I do, I will compare the line size.
Nonetheless, I'm having a hard time seeing that the pressure would be any different with any line size. The way that I see it, a smaller line might take a little longer to fully pressurize the rear calipers, but system equilibrium should be eventually reached. What am I missing?
