SS Brake Lines.. Who has 'em?

Need new brake pads soon, and I was wondering who's changed their brake lines too? I've been feeling a little less than confident braking at speed lately, and thought this might help, along with the new pads..

I haven't looked around too much yet, but I know evosport makes them, not sure who else..

Thoughts? Comments?

I've heard from a few c63 owners that SS lines didn't make a big impact. A few of the techs at the track I spoke with said upgrading break fluid if anything would improve the braking. (apart from pads / rotors/ kits)

Chief63 mentioned in one of his posts "Got stainless steel lines, I'd skip it if I had to do it again, didn't see much, including on the track."

Please note, my corp AV software went off the hook on the above site, I doubt it is the owners doing it intentionally, rather the site most likely has been compromised.

It is trying to see a downloader and a trojan (and 2 other java based exploits I could not identify but attempted something funky)...

If someone knows the owner/vender, you may want to have them look into this.. Otherwise.. I recommend disabling java before going to the site..

Honestly, I would upgrade to SS lines more for the asthetics over the gains, in higher end big brake vehicles, they probably (as someone mentioned), do not provide much of a gain, over say upgrading to SS brake lines on your squishy VW jetta... which I did

I have the SS brake lines and Endless brake pads. I definitely feel like my car is more responsive when braking, but I will put this caveat in there. If you dont warm up the Endless pads, they will make noise, but once they are warmed up, any noise really dissipates.
