I'm doing my front pads this morning and was wondering if anyone is running Earls or some other brand, and what type of results you got from stopping power, to pedal feel.
My pedal feels like I'm putting my foot into a bucket of pudding with the stock set up.

 

They help a HEAP with that. I put my Earls on years ago and did not think the results would be so good. You WILL feel a difference immediately.

Every once in a while you install a part that works so well it leaves you wondering why the factory choose to save the few dollars in favor of something inferior. Like electric fans for example. (GM's finally caught on to that one, even the new Tahoes have them.) Brake lines braided in stainless steel are parts just like that. I'm sure you'll be happy with them.

Be sure to do a full 2-man bleed after installation.

 

+1 Same here!

 

Thanks for the resonses.
Well I pulled off the pasenger side wheel to find that the pads still have about 70% of the material left on them!!??
I checked them in July last summer and they don't look any more worn than then. I do drive about 60% highways miles or more so who knows.
Last summer I bought new ceramic pads and took them back, looks like I will be holding on to this set for when the time comes. They will just get more expensive as time goes on anyways.
My truck has around 65k on it now. I'll have to check the back pads next weekend.
I did bleed the fronts and changed out most of the fluid just for the hell of it. we'll see if that gives me better brake feel, the **** that came out when bleeding them looked nasty.
My rotors were glazed pretty good so I sanded the wear lip off the outside of the disk and sanded the glazing off lightly. I may just make a fixture up at work and take a **** cut on my disks when I do the stainless line swap.

 

I am using the Earls Hyperfirm, It really makes a difference. I noticed rite away.

 

I went with Goodridge. Did it as part of a 4 wheel brake upgrade so I can't say for sure how much the lines help. It has to be significantly better than the oem rubber lines though especially after a few years of exposure. Look better too.

 

how much did u guys pay?

 

Bish, where did you get your goodridge lines from??

 

How difficult is it to install them? Im not sure how to change rotors and pads, but I think I can do it. Is the install of the lines easy? Do they come with directions?

 

Off ebay from a user named hoerrracing11 . Arrived quickly and everything installed without issue.
