I wasn't worried about derailing it. It's good discussion. I really want to know if there's conclusive evidence or reason to believe that the ss lines are a myth and that the improvement is mainly from the brake fluid change.
I used the bolts that came with the StangSuspension kit. There is a...
That doesn't tell me the change was more due to the fluid and less due to the lines. It just tells me the fluid added to the effect.
This tells me the bleed had a larger effect on your car. It doesn't conclusively tell me that this is true on my car too. I guess the more air you have in your...
Probably, but I wasn't going to bleed the brakes first to see how it affects the pedal feel, then do the ss lines later and have to bleed the brakes again. I just considered the ss lines and bleeding as one mod.
I don't know of any rear brake line upgrades for us. The rear ones aren't subject...
Josh at StangSuspension has always been good to me. Never had any issues and he always beats any other online price I could find. He's one of the good guys. :)

We filled mine via the dipstick tube. We put what we thought was right, ran the motor for a bit, then rechecked. If 12 is the max, you could put 10 then start it.
The stock studs have a shoulder on them. You can grab them with a Vise grip to take them off. I believe they even have a flat spot to turn them with an open wrench. MAC exhaust comes with a big washer/spacer thing so it seals up without having to replace the bolts.
