So if the factory doesn’t put them on then there not an improvement am I understanding the logic correctly?guess we all have opinions. don't much care what anyone else thinks.
stainless lines are not needed in the vast vast majority of cases. (note: most of us don't run baja offroad laps in races) and hardly anyone really cares to pay for them.
How many trucks have stainless lines from the factory, even as part of a package? (including the raptor)
exactly
Your "feel" is in your head brother.Failure argument aside, it's been my experience the reduced pedal travel in most platforms adds a "feel" that is worth upgraded lines alone. Pedal is more responsive due to less distance pressed to achieve the same braking result. The difference in feel is readily apparent to even the most untrained driver. Now there are some platforms in which OE lines are so good (or just new) the difference if any is not noticed, but those seem to be few and far between. If you are breaking open the system, why not. Sure it may not change the final pressure on the pads, but if it does so with a shorter pedal stroke, and you like that as a benefit, why wouldn't you upgrade them while you are there?
Back to the intent of the thread... so am I understanding that no one can get a hold of the newer 4 bolt brackets right now?
Back to the intent of the thread... so am I understanding that no one can get a hold of the newer 4 bolt brackets right now? I really like the look of the Roush color and damn sure find the price MUCH more reasonable.
yeah. pretty easy to tell the difference between older brake fluid and brand new brake fluid.These Roush painted Alcon Calipers look great. I'm going with quality stainless steel lines due to the 6 pistons in each caliper if the 2nd gen raptor front lines aren't already stainless steel. Some one on the board mentioned the front lines are already stainless steel. Still need to look into the oem construction...
Anyone who has changed out rubber brake lines for quality stainless steel can tell a difference in pedal feel and brake control. Switched to stainless steel from rubber front brake lines on a motorcycle couple years back. Much easier activate the front anti lock break system (abs) with stainless steel lines.
