Eliminate Spongy Pedal Feel: A Guide to Braided Brake Lines
One of the most common complaints from performance drivers is a soft, "spongy" brake pedal. This is caused by factory rubber brake lines expanding under pressure. Upgrading to stainless steel braided brake lines is a simple, affordable, and highly effective modification that delivers a firm, consistent pedal feel and increased braking confidence.
Why Upgrade from Stock Rubber Lines?

| Expansion Under Pressure | High | Virtually zero |
| Abrasion Resistance | Low | High (protected by steel braid) |
| Fluid Compatibility | Good | Excellent (PTFE core is inert to all fluids) |
